Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I heard about CS long ago, but never got to joining it until I went on a South/Central America trip where I combined CS with hostels, a beautiful way to travel I think. Now that I'm back it's time to offer my place to reciprocate and give travelers a wonderful time when visiting Holland!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

In Australia I visited a couple of WWOOF farms, voluntary work in exchange for a bed and food. Also you get shown around a lot at those farms! Really good experiences! That was before I got to know CS, now I've done some surfing in Brazil and Argentina, which periods were probably the most culturally immersive of my trip.

Interests

I like architecture, art and design in general. Also like psychology. Nature is one of my favourite things, don't have much in Holland but 'Planet Earth' is the best!
