CURRENT MISSION

Currently not accepting guests because I’m traveling! I’ll be back soon and you’ll be more than welcome :)

ABOUT ME

I'm open to new experiences, meeting interesting people and learning about your culture/customs.

PHILOSOPHY

Being kind and open to people of all different walks of life.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Because it's a great way of meeting interesting people while travelling.

Interests

Language, reading and writing has always been my passion. I'll probably ask you about your language a lot :D I love writing poems and drawing sceneries of everyday life. Music is a big part of my life and right now I'm learning how to play the guitar. Meeting people new people is always really inspiring and fun to me, no matter who you are or what you do, everyone has a story.

As I quit the rat race (my office job in marketing) to focus on work that is more creative and fulfilling, I'm also very interested in different ways of life, outside of the 'society standards'.

I'm very enthusiastic about good food and coffee/wine/beer and have a little cooking club with friends in Amsterdam. I can definitely also enjoy that by myself, but a fun conversation partner is of course a bonus.

Dystopian novels like On the Beach & Brave New World. Anything by Zadie Smith, Kurt Vonnegut, and currently discovering Murakami.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

The Hai Van pass between Hoi An and Hué, by motorbike.

Teach, Learn, Share

I consider myself an upbeat and positive person. I love cooking because it makes me calm and happy, so I'd love to share food with you!

I'd love to learn more about your culture, if you speak anything other than English and Dutch also your language, and about yourself as well!

What I Can Share with Hosts

Food, positivity and good conversation.
