About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Conquer the World!

ABOUT ME

So much to tell...
I try to enjoy life as much as possible, that's the only way to live when you're still young (and the way I hope to live when I'm old and rimply)
I love travelling and meeting people from other cultures, I have travelled all around Europe, did an AFS high school exchange in the US and spend 5 months studying in Turkey. My most awesome trip so far was 2 weeks in Iran and a 3 month trip Down Under!
I love to have people over, cooking for them and show them around. Mostly just have a good time together!

PHILOSOPHY

A day without a smile is not a day at all...
(a crappy translation of the Dutch 'Een dag niet gelachen is een dag niet geleefd')

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I hope to meet the world by both hosting and surfing on other people's couches!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

A lot of enthousiastic stories from friends and sisters and just in general. Hosted my fair share of friends as member of a European student assocation and of course if it wasn't for the hospitality of my host family in the US, I would not have had such an awesome year. So I'm paying it forward :)

Music, Movies, and Books

À lot of what I love depends on the mood that I'm in!!
I have a very eclectic music taste, from Jack Johnson, country to electronic music! When I have time, I love to read detectives and my favourite movie is Armageddon (I know, it's a guilty pleasure ;-))
