About Me

I'm officially a translator but I ended up working at an IT company as a software trainer. After having worked here for 8 years, it was time die a change. So I decided to travel to the other side of the world (Australia) to discover myself, meet new people and learn about different cultures. I love cooking and trying out new recipes. I recently learned how to make a spaghetti burger! I also like spending time in nature: hiking, geocaching, star gazing. Whatever can be done outside. I used to dance a lot (mainly ballet and jazz) but after injuring my knee I'm trying to find new ways to exercise such as yoga.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Teaching non-natives Dutch

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm on a path of self discovery and getting into yoga and meditation.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can make great (vegetarian) burgers and poached eggs and I can teach you some Dutch if you like. I'm very tidy and strangely enough love doing the dishes and cleaning. I can tell you all sorts of random facts (did you know that Japanese sheep say meh) and what I lack in height I make up for in enthusiasm!
