About Me

CURRENT MISSION

The same thing we do every night, Pinky... Try to take over the world!

ABOUT ME

Dutch nearly equals weird, and apparently I'm a bit weird. I'm also a fun loving, very loyal person who loves to cook! Loving life is what I do best, really.
I love meeting new people, a bit of a movie addict and I do like to dance as well... :-)

PHILOSOPHY

There is a time for departure, even when there's no certain place to go

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

So far only surfing - meeting loads of couchsurfers not only hosting me, but also travelling with me

In particular I want to watch sunrises in every country I visit!

I've finished that first amazing trip of my life and am still trying to settle down in London. Due to my housemates I'm not able to host anyone soon, but if I move places I will def.

Always in for a chat and a drink though!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Couchsurfing experience are always interesting and most of them GREAT GREAT fun! I've been on night tours, crashed for nights and sometimes for weeks (oops - but always with permission of my host and having an incredible time :-) ), visited touristy attractions and events where only locals would come... incredible!
