Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I´m a proud inhabitant of Amsterdam and also a cosmopolitan. I´m eager to meet people from all over the world, learning more about their culture and world views. Not for nothing, I study international relations.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Only hosted a few surfers, never hurts to help out! Hopes to surf in Central America soon.

Interests

I litterally like almost anything, but here are my main passions:

I´m a fanatic athlete (rowing), travel-junkie, and pick up a book every once in a while. I´m a passionate cook but an even more fanatic eater. I like all kinds of music and in my leisure time I watch DVD´s (cannot get enough of little brittain) or do all kinds of parlour games with friends. During summer, sleeping in a sunny park is heavenly, although a hammock in between two palm trees is better....

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Seeing a man connect to his horse in Khajuraho, India (And wonder why there are over a billion Indians). Gasping in awe of Moscows metro system.The sunrise above the Bromo Vulcano in Indonesia. Experiencing the magical underwater life in Mauritius or Thailand

Teach, Learn, Share

I dare (or think :-)) to say I know quite something about the world, but like to be challenged. Knowledge makes hungry. Speaking of which, I like to cook and also learn what others make. If possible, practising my language skills would be nice. Above all, I´m an expert in putting aside my worries and enjoy.
