About Me

CURRENT MISSION

experience different countries and cultures

PHILOSOPHY

I like to have an open mind about the world. Respecting people and getting to know them and the way they live their lives (that's also why I studied Psychology).

To stay open minded, have new experiences and live up to my adventurous nature. I like to travel and see different parts of the world.

In Amsterdam I work for the local government. I advice local politics and write policy for solving social problems.

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Just started couch surfing a last year because a friend of mine told me about it. He is very enthusiastic about CF and now I'm too. So far I've been to a few meetings in Lima and other places in Peru, met a lot of people and had a great time!
