CURRENT MISSION

travel and learn

ABOUT ME

impossible, narrow minded, not at all interested in art, culture, food and travel.

travelling and meeting people is to me one of the lovely things in life, learning from different cultures and people. i also enjoy reading or walking around. or sit somewhere and look around, doing nothing.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

amsterdam is sweet + i like to travel. love to wander and see what's around me. had some unexpected and lovely encounters, for example a couple in their fifties building a boat on a squatted plot on a forest hill in brazil.

i received very usefull information on travelling in argentina and mexico on a budget. been couchsurfing off the grid both as host and guest. my first official couchsurf with johannes from cologne was perfect. since then i have swapped homes through couchsurf a couple of times - all very nice experiences.

expectation management: i'm not looking for dates through couchsurf.

Teach, Learn, Share

i find travelling an enriching luxury. would love to return to south america and revisit colombia; chile is on my wish list. there's still lots of europe to explore. japan would be nice. i want to learn to surf, ride a motorbike, to sail to freestyle swim and many other things.
