Hi there lovely people,

I am a dutch woman from Amsterdam who loves traveling like all of you. Back in Amsterdam I am busy with becoming a yoga teacher, counting how many dogs I have seen on the street today (VERY big animal lover)
I love to dance, cook, enjoy company of my friends, writing, reading, going to festivals.. They are pretty cool here I have to say :) I also am very interested in spirituality and just going with the flow. You could say I am a kind of modern hippy maybe..

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I like to travel and meet new people of different cultures, hear their story, make real connections. I backpacked before in Asia and it while it was such an amazing experience, I wish I had stayed in some homes instead of only doing the hostels and hotels. I am a very curious person and believe you can learn a lot from each other.
It sounds like such a fun thing to stay in someone home, learn about the city from a local and have an real experience with the place I am visiting. I feel like the people who are hosting are like minded people and think it will make my travels so mush more interesting to meet with some of you :)

Music, Movies, and Books

I am a very big music,book en movies lover! My favorite movie is the Moulin Rouge. Best acting, funny, sad en such a great drama story. I read so many books but can not choose one as my favorite.... I would say Harry Potter really entertained me as a kid. (and kinda still does) My favorite music is very broad... I would say that Otis Redding, Marvin Gaye and Bob Marley are my guys but because I can not ever see them perform :( ... I listening to a lot of new groovy music too. As long as I feel it or can dance on it I am down.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

While I was traveling in Asia I volunteered with animals, mostly cats and dogs. It felt great to work while also on holiday. I had a great time with the locals who were hosting the animal care center. I also dived while being there and went surfing.. AMAZING. I lived in a bunch of different countries because of my work in fashion.. I had some very good experiences and i would love to tell you more in person. I lived on a island with only 20 people for a while with no internet. Would do it again anytime!
