Hi 🙂 I’m from the Netherlands, I grew up in Switzerland and now I live in the UK. I’m friendly and I love to surf, hike, swim, and be in nature. I also love cities and discovering new places and cultures. Dance music I love as well, especially techno, garage, breakbeat, electro. I’m practicing meditation and mindfulness - daily meditation if I can!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I’m currently on a year off from my job, and looking for some cultural exchange along the way. I think Couchsurfing is a great platform to find interesting people and have enriching experiences. I love that it’s not financially motivated at all and that allows for more authentic experiences and connections

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I volunteered at a permaculture farm in Nepal for a while, that was quite special to me 🙂

And I backpacked in South America for 4 months, including 2 months in Brasil which was so so so great - add Rio to your bucket list!!

What I Can Share with Hosts

Conversations, a nice time, I love to cook and help out with cleaning. I’m happy to help with anything you might need. I’m friendly and laid back so rest assured I won’t be a burden :) I’m also very flexible and can adapt hanging out / doing my own thing according to what the host is up for :)
