Por que estou no Couchsurfing?

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I host as often as I can, but nobody wants to go here? C'mon people, you don't know what you are missing.

I have surfed couches in Europe and South America. I love to get to know new people :)

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Have hosted a few people and showed them the beauty of Fryslan. In September of 2012 I have started surfing. I traveled from my hometown of Heerenveen to Gothenburg (Sweden) by bike (and 6 ferry's to cross rivers and the sea). It was a life-changing experience for me!

After giving up my job in April of 2013, I went to Spain to learn Spanish as a preparation for my first big trip: in August of 2013 I have traveled Latin America for 5 months! Que chévere!!! :)

Interesses

Interested in meeting new people, seeing where they live, hearing their stories and hoping to learn from their life lessons.

Love books, movies and music (listening and beginning guitar playing). I enjoy biking and walking. I run and swim to keep in shape, don't really enjoy it while I do it though, but the feeling afterwards is nice. I can really relax on a sailing boat on a Frisian lake. All you have to worry about is the wind.
