Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
To be inspired by new experiences.
ABOUT ME
I live in Amsterdam. I enjoy doing all kinds of creative things (pottery, painting, silversmithing), traveling and yoga. Last year [2023] I became a yoga teacher. I’m very much into Yin style practices.
I travel a lot with my boyfriend, we love exploring together.
[Below is my info of a long time ago, when I was a very active couchsurfer. Now I’m back after many years!]
I've enjoyed traveling ever since I can remember. Before I graduated [2012] I traveled a lot in South America, Asia and Southern Europe. In 2014 and 2015 I made trips to the US. Now I'm more focused on working... saving some money to hopefully travel again :-). With my friends I enjoy eating, talking and watching movies together.
PHILOSOPHY
Traveling frees the spirit.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
I’m back on Couchsurfing because I’m planning to travel in Europe with a long time friend from South America. We hope to meet some lovely people during a trip in central Europe.
[Before 2012]
I surfed couches in Argentina and Brazil and got involved in the local CS communities. I've also surfed in the Netherlands a few times. I had a great experience every time and met many welcoming hosts and fellow travelers. I hosted some amazing people in Amsterdam until I moved to a place where I'm no longer able to host people. Right now just available for coffee/drink.
