Hi, Hola, Hallo, Hej you!

I haven't been everywhere, but it is on my list.

Nice to meet you here!
Let's meet in person soon.

Mission
My mission is to grow and learn, every day. Traveling is a great way of doing so. I love to travel and explore, see and experience the craziest things in the world. The best thing to do is to create memories, share smiles and help people all over the globe to get a smile on their face.

About me
An enthusiastic woman who wants to explore the world. Who wants to get the most out of everything and enjoy being surrounded with friends, strangers, foreigners, and family. I can say I am in love with life and enjoy every day!

Philosophy
Live your Dreams. It is something I choose for my tattoo and.. something that I am doing. When I was still 'young', (I know I am still young, haha) I dreamed about travelling, exploring and studying abroad. This is all that I have done and still do at the moment. To make a long story short: I have done an internship in Spain, Erasmus in Austria, wrote my bachelor thesis in Colombia and worked for summer jobs in Italy and Spain. After that, I decided to do a Master Study at the Lund University in Sweden and when I graduated I had the opportunity to start working for the Dutch Embassy in Costa Rica! Of course we also need to focus on our dreams and goals. One of them was to become a business woman, so I ended up in Ireland - working for an American cooperation. My lifestyle is bringing me pretty much around the world! As I said, I see it all as a life experience where we can learn from now, and we can enjoy it in the future.

Having this said, I can say: I am Dutch, feeling latina, but in true honesty.. the world is my home.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am here to make life better for everybody. How nice, amazing, great and lovely is it when we can help each other out? Share our cities, habits, lives, dreams, goals and experiences, cook together or whatever is there at that moment.

Interests

In those cold winter days, there is nothing more lovely than after a good walk, coming back home. 'Home', where you can enjoy, drinking a hot chocolate under a lovely blanket. Besides that, I love being active in lots of societies and events.

I love going to the gym, winter-sports and as well... motorsports!

During the summer I like to swim, party, enjoying the sunset, go to the beach, find new friends and explore. Especially when I am travelling, I am enjoying every minute. Sometimes people say that I am a bit crazy, but I love to enjoy those crazy moments... Just an example: I love to keep my head up high when it is raining. Feel the raindrops in my face and know: as soon as I arrive home.. there is TEA! and .. tea is like really important in life. Don't forget about that.

Music, Movies, and Books

My favourite thing to do? Everything but sitting still.. However, I like to read books (If I am patient enough), watch a Netflix series/movie or even better: interesting talks!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

One amazing thing? Isn't life supposed to be full of amazing things? Like.. Traveling without a destination, jumping out of an aeroplane, internship abroad, being a ski-teacher, and know the (though) life of a tour leader, as well being active in for example AIESEC, volunteer programs and I think we should make everyday amazing.

Actually, I try to do something 'crazy' to make every day amazing...Like: Have you ever read a book, danced and drink tea while showering (yes, all at the same time)?

Have you ever... 'Just make every day amazing, instead of thinking 'what was the most amazing thing I have done'.

Teach, Learn, Share

I would love to host people if I have the possibility, so "Just ask me!" You are always welcome if I can make space/time.
