CURRENT MISSION

Get to know the world!

ABOUT ME

Hi everyone!

I grew up in a small town in the Netherlands and when I moved to a city 1.5 hours away to study it felt like such a big step... I'm sure that girl wouldn't believe all the places I've been to and lived in now! Throughout all my traveling, couchsurfing has been so important and added so much, and I always enjoy meeting other couchsurfers!

I love dancing, singing, and well, music in general. I am always up for crazy last minute adventures or chill hangouts. Creative and arts and crafts have become a bigger part of my life too, as have introspective rituals. Let's meet up and make new stories together!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Couchsurfing has made my past trips so much better and my best travel stories always start with 'so I was couchsurfing in...' And even when I have to settle somewhere for a bit I can travel in a way by hosting others (if my living arrangements allow it).

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

What I love most about couchsurfing is the stories you hear. I think everyone has interesting stories as long as one is willing to listen without judgement. When you learn about new cultures and new languages, you learn new concepts that make you understand the world better and make you experience it fuller.

Interests

I really enjoy music, I'm currently learning opera singing (and struggling with it!). I also enjoy dancing, horse riding, hiking, hanging out with friends, playing games (board, video, anything really), reading, and learning languages.

Music, Movies, and Books

I don't know much about films, I really need to educate myself in that... Recommendations are always appreciated!
I do know a lot of books and that makes it hard to name a favorite. I basically just like all the genres:)
Music wise, I have a very broad taste. There are not many styles that I cannot listen to at all.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Every trip I've done has been amazing for its own reason. I've been lucky enough to see very different corners of the world and be surprised and delighted at all the gems hidden in each culture.

Teach, Learn, Share

I am one of those people that stores up on random facts that tend to come out at random times. So if you hang out with me, you might just so happen to learn something useful (or not, depending on how you look at it).

What I Can Share with Hosts

long conversations, fun facts galore, some cooking, but mostly baking skills. And I've taught some hosts how to read korean, I mean, can you think of any more useful skill?
