About Me

CURRENT MISSION

World tripping!

ABOUT ME

I've always been pretty interested about travelling, but since I studied in Prague for 5 months I've even wanted to travel more and to do it diferently than before. Before I was happy with just the tourist things, but now I think it's much more important to just be together with some nice people and try to experience life as it is in other parts of the world.

Now I'm travelling around the globe with my boyfriend, Dieter. We both quited our jobs to be able to do this for one year. Up till now it has been a crazy and fun experience.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'm always up for a Belgian beer, a coffee, a tour around the city (Ghent or Antwerp)...

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I think it has always been pretty amazing that people are willing to give you a couch, a place to stay, a tour around the city, some insight perspectives, even though you don't know the people that well.
I didn't do any real CouchSurfing yet, but I got to stay at friends places in Czech Republic, Sweden, Finland and Norway, which was always very nice. I especially liked the warmth and kindness of the people which gave me a couch and welcomed me in their homes.
