I'm originally from Aruba and have been living in Holland for over 15 years. I have also lived in Bolivia for 2 years, in Portugal 2 years and have spent several months in the US on several occasions. In 2004 my partner and I went traveling around the world for a year, of which we spent 8 months in New Zealand touring the country in a camper van.

I like to explore and discover new things and see beautiful places, which is why I love traveling.

Что привело меня на Couchsurfing

To meet new people and reciprocate the generosity of strangers met on the road long before CS existed.
