Multiculturalism has always been part of my life. I was born in the Netherlands to Indonesian parents and in 2016 I moved to Portugal where I met my Brazilian partner. Now I live in Brussels where I work for an international eNGO. My favourite things in life are music (world music, jazz), dancing (lindy hop), climbing mountains, cycling across borders :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

In our neoliberal society everything has a pricetag and affordable housing has become a luxury, instead of a right. I believe in the importance of altruistic sharing and non-monetary activities. Couchsurfing is one way to fight the broken system
