ABOUT ME
At this moment I have an office job in the Netherlands. from 8:00-17:00. I know, sounds boring. But when I was 27 years old, I quit my job and went off traveling. And work as an outdoor sports instructor. It was a very good time and I learned a lot. Now I am looking for a balance between work and being outside. Do the things you love with the people you love. In my hollidays I like to visit the mountains. Or travel around the world.
In my spare time I like to sport. Or just put my feet up and relax a little and listen to a good album on vinyl or cd.
PHILOSOPHY
Its better to make a mistake/ fall down while doing new things than to not do them at all. Stand up, learn from youre mistakes and live youre life! If you want something go for it! Dont wait until its to late....
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
Returning the favor. I had my first experience of couchsurfing in Canada. And it was great. I think this is a nice way of traveling and meeting people. So I surfed at peoples couches so I think its also good to open up. If we all open up a little bit this can be a very good system!
Interests
Love to learn new things, currently I am taking salsa and French lessons. I also like to experience in the kitchen. Sometimes with luck and i have a good meal. And sometimes.... :) but there is a good restaurant nearby where i live ;)
