About Me

ABOUT ME

Spontaneous, sociable, passionate, interested in people and different cultures.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love traveling and meeting people. When I travelled and stayed in places longer I always tried to connect with the locals, because they often teach you knew things, show you new ways to look at things and broaden your scope. It is always interesting & refreshing to see the world from a different perspective now and than & learn from other cultures and their customs.

In the Netherlands I often receive people who I met during traveling abroad and always love to re-connect and show them around.

Normally I just book a hotel, but My friend told me I should really try couch surfing, because she thought I would be the ideal couch surfer (her words ;)). And don't know if I would be the perfect one, but I think because I love meeting people, am very sociable, love to connect, love culture, she might justbe right that couch surfing suits me very much.
