I am relaxed, never angry, curious and open-minded. I am yet quite unexperienced in travelling alone, but I challenged myself in taking that step by studying in Taiwan for a semester. I am really into Asian cultures and I am currently self-learning Chinese. I prefer to live a simple and happy life rather than to get rich. So when travelling I'd rather sleep on a couch in a homestay than in a luxurious hotel. I try to find the local daily life, not a beach resort. When I'm travelling I not only try to enjoy the activities and trips I'm doing, but I also try to appreciate where I am, enjoy the daily things and absorb every detail to make me aware of the country's beauty.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I think the best way to explore a city is with a local. Because when you explore a city on your own, you might miss some nice details or spots that are really interesting and tell something about the culture. Locals just know about the best food, traditions and spots and they make your trip way more interesting. I also prefer to live the local daily life instead of staying in luxurious hotels. I will feel really happy if I can stay in someone's house, even though it is small with no bed.

Interests

Visiting different countries, geography facts, Chinese language, Asia, viewpoints (city and nature), geology, cultures, photography, drawing, foreign daily life, hiking, trying (a lot of) new food, cycling cities

Music, Movies, and Books

When I was a child, I really liked the avatar cartoon series (still enjoy them now haha). And Harry Potter still fascinates me. Favourite music: Kygo, Alan Walker, Coldplay

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Watched the stars and the sunrise from 能高山 mountain top, Taiwan. In general, my exchange to Taiwan was the best decision in my life.

Teach, Learn, Share

I want to learn Chinese (currently teaching myself) and I can teach others some Dutch, but it isn't considered the most useful language on earth..
