About Me

CURRENT MISSION

ABOUT ME

I am a tall spontanious, openminded, trustworthy women. I grew up in the Netherlands, but my mother is German. I like positiveness and having fun, but I can also be serious. I love travelling, socialising and sooo much more!

PHILOSOPHY

Teach, learn & share good vibes and new things :)

Don't use your common sense,
Use your dance sense.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I couchsurfed in Morocco, Turkey, England, the Czech Republic and Peru. And I met some great people! Also I always join couchsurfing events during travels.

Unfortunately I haven't hosted a lot of other couchsurfers. The reason is that I was often quite busy with my study in the Netherlands. But I always try to make some time ;).

Interests

Traveling:
I love traveling for many reasons: It opens up the mind, it gives us inspiration, it gives us another perspective on our lives and let us see the many possibilities.

Studying:
About philosophy, psychology, anthropology, religion studies.

Dancing:
Kizomba, zouk, merengue/salsa/bachata, reggaeton/dancehall, R&B.

Sports:
Yoga, running and cycling, self-defence, krav maga.

Working:
I just graduated in my studies and now work as a social worker in psychiatry. In the end I would like to work as a counselor in personal and professional development.

Cooking:
Multicultural recipes (and be creative, because I'm a vegetarian).

Living:
I live in a community, where we share fascilities together, I love the open mindedness and creativity (but I can also appreciate privacy at some time).

Health:
I do not smoke.
