About Me
ABOUT ME
I have spent last 15 years travelling around the world, mostly by myself. I have visited more than 50 countries. While travelling, I have done volunteer work, studing or working for ngo's. I believe in justice, freedom and equality and have worked for those values for all my adult life.
PHILOSOPHY
"Don't ask yourself what the world needs. Ask yourself what makes you come alive, and then go and do that. Because what the world needs is people that have come alive." Dr Howard Thurman
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
I am used to host people in my home, but they are usually friends or friends of friends. I am also used to sleep in homes of other people. But not via CouchSurfing -organisation, so that part is new to me.
Interests
I am super curious about all kinds of things. Love to talk about politics. I am a pacifist, feminist and human right activist. But I don't take life too seriously and don't like to argue about things. As long as people respect other people and their opinion I respect them and their opinions. I also like Brasilian music, Brittish comedies, drinking wine in parks, sailing, scuba diving, walking in woods...
