CURRENT MISSION

To live a creative, loving life with lots of laughter.

ABOUT ME
I am a setdesigner and try to make a living with more creative design work than painting houses. I sing jazz, pop and folk music, even some songs by Shakespeare. My boyfriend plays the guitar and sings too. I also sing in the kitchen, while cooking extensive meals for my friends. We have a son, Elias manu. He is 4 years old and an amazing bright, funny and sweet person to be with. I will certainly bring him along on the couch surf track and introduce him to our global community.

PHILOSOPHY

We all come from the same protoplasma, let's celebrate this and let's take care of planet Earth while we are here. We are mere guests who should pay deep respect to the host, Mother Earth..........

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I am delighted to see something like the Couch Surfing exists! There is hope. We need people who are willing to share and care. The world needs cohesion in this sense; international 'bonding' without charge but with many values and fun!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Did some great couch surfing in San Francisco and Australia. It was absolute fun, I met very, very diverse hosts and had plenty of interesting conversations, lovely dinners and fuzzy coctails in vague bars.

Interests

Clouds! The smell of basil, Pixar Studios, endless quiet landscapes, when everybody talks at the same time, dancing, fingertips on guitar strings, yoga, Dutch theatre plays, the smell of paint, the many different colours of the ocean....
