Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
To see as much fro the world as possible. More specific to taste as much cuisines as possible!
ABOUT ME
Foodies, tea lovers, coffee lovers, wine lovers, beer lovers, music lovers, environmental friendly.
We are Nick and Sanne, a couple living in Utrecht, The Netherlands. We are 27 and 30 and work for 3-7 years now. Sanne works as a HRM-Advisor for a creditcard company. Nick works as a CSR-consultant at PricewaterhouseCoopers. Together they are the proud owners of a wine webshop (www.grapesandflavours.nl). We sell wines and provide tastings and workshops.
We both love food and travel. As Nick is more flexible at his work, he will often travel alone. If the possibility is there, we will travel together. On our travels we try to experience the local culture as well as the local cuisine. At home we try to cook what we ate. Sanne eats vegetarian and cooks great vegetarian dishes. Nick is more specialised in seafood and meat. Our favorite cuisines are Italian, Indian, Thai, Spanish, Arabic and Dutch.
On our wishlist for travels are: Japan, South Korea, Hong Kong, Macau, Taiwan, Malaysia, Singapore, India, Indonesia, Argentina, Bolivia, Chile, Myanmar, China, Mongolia, South Africa.
PHILOSOPHY
Try not to work to hard and enjoy life! Try to taste the local cuisine (never, I say NEVER, eat at a KFC, McDonalds, etc, when abroad!!!!).

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
No offical experience yet.
We have one anecdote however. Will we were travelling with a campervan in Australia we arrived at Newcastle, NSW. It was late in the night and we were looking for a place to park the camper to sleep. We asked around in a restaurant where we met an employee (John). I offered us his backyard to park and sleep and his shower! Thanx John and Jane for the experience!
