About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Travel, sports, learn, experience, play, teach, see, love, enjoy ..... and of course visit each and every single country on this planet before I die!

ABOUT ME

I grew up mostly in Spain, in the costa brava. I am half dutch and half spanish. For university studies I moved to the USA and to Australia. I personally loved Australia and its surf. I am currently working for an international firm in Barcelona. I just returned from a year traveling around Asia where I had many great couch surfing experiences.

Futher more I am a very active person, sports are everything to me. I am always playing around in the ocean, the forest/jungle, lakes, the mountains....

I love to be sorounded by nature and friendly & fun people. I consider myself openminded and ready to listen and learn from others. I want to know it all, hence I tend to ask lot of questions. I adapt easy to new locations and never feel homesick. I always want to move on and see other places, more new things.

PHILOSOPHY

I have yet to find my purpose in life, which right now is to enjoy and discover the world, travel around the world, and discover what I would like to do as a proffesion. I have two Bachelors in World Economy and Development, I do like this field, however it is very broad. I have to find a specific direction where to go into, and possibly to study a Masters degree in the future.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I hosted people at my parents house in Spain where i lived for several months before coming to Asia to save more money. Traveling around Asia was great and mett lots of great Couchsurfers. Furthermore while living in Barcelona I (and my boyfriend) continued to host people in our small flat in the city center.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

It has been good so far hosting and surfing, I met a lot of great people!

Interests

I love to play sports especially:
Surf, soccer, rugby, snowboarding, swimming, skiing, atletics, waterpolo, skate/longboarding, snorkeling, climbing, windsurf, saling, kayking, canoeing, beach voley...
Sports that I would like to get better at or start:
Deep sea Diving, kitesurf, karate, wakeboarding, skydyving, harpoon fishing...
I like to play around in the mountains, the beach, climb trees, jump of rockclifs and such.
I spent most of my energy during the day with sports and nature. At night I like to relax, stay home, have a great meal and sleep (I am not much of a party person).My other passion is to eat (it makes we very happy to have a good long meal with friends) i like everything: fish and love seafish, meat, vegatables, spicy food, candy & sweets, and of course delicous tropical fruits.... ehum (i´m getting hungy already).
Furthermore I am interested in traveling, visiting new places and meet new people.
