About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Meet new people, learn new languages and most important, HAVE FUN!

ABOUT ME

(oh, it's hard so say something about myself)
My favourite colour is blue
My favourite season is summer
If I had to describe myself in four words it would be: independent, open minded (I know these are two words), curious and adventurous (but not as much as I would like to be)
If someone else had to describe me in four words it would be: stubborn, talkative, independent and (a little)crazy
I don't like people who take themselves to serious
If I watch scary movies I always put my hands in front of my face and look through my fingers.
I wish I could play the a musical instrument or had the talent to become a great dancer.
I never watched an entire James Bond or Star Wars movie.
I love cooking and learning about food and how to cook new things.
I want to visit all continents before I die.

PHILOSOPHY

You should always have a dream (and make it reality)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I have hosted only some people but I would love to have more people coming over. I would like to show you around in my city and make you feel at home.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I had some great experiences couchsurfing. I've been couchsurfing with some people for only one day, others for longer. And met some great people who shared their thoughts with me and learned me new ways of thinking and living. I really like to host people too. Show people around my hometown and sharing good times. Unfortunately I don't always have the time. But if I can I will. Currently I'm living with my boyfriend in Arnhem. We have a separate room with a 1p bed that folds into a 2p bed.

Interests

I love to learn about different cultures. I'm interested in people who are different from me and like to know more about their way of thinking.

Music, Movies, and Books

There is no box big enough. I like a big variety of music, movies and books. I'm always looking for something new so I would love to hear your recommendations
