Overview
About Me
I view life as one big opportunity to keep developing and learning. Finding happiness (or it finding you) is the only true purpose in life. The way you find it varies for everyone though and it is often through an unexpected path.
When travelling without the luxuries of home you are more open to connection. Greatness happens outside of your comfort zone, when you least expect it. I want to learn more about the places I travel and the people I meet, so let's meet!!:)
What you send out is what you receive so treat everyone how you want to be treated!!
I haven't got the chance to host yet, as my roommates don't agree, but I'm planning to, when I find a place in Utrecht. I don't always pay the contribution as I don't get a lot of messages, so you can Whatsapp me on +31722640467 if you need a place!
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
To make real and authentic connections and get to know people and cultures. Every city is just another city, it's the people that make it unique.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
Being alive..? Quite impressive if you ask me, but I don't like to brag
Teach, Learn, Share
Being direct, open and honest allows for more deeper connections, though this might be the Dutch in me talking..
