CURRENT MISSION

Learning by travelling

ABOUT ME

I'm Kirsten, 21 years old and I live in Leeuwarden. I'm a student, International hospitality management and I really love to travel.
Beside that I'm a volunteer for Coba Baca (www.cobabaca.org) a library in Lovina, North Bali. I really love Bali and the people overthere and I try to learn bahasa Indonesia as well. When you want a cup of tea or whatever you're always welcome! In Leeuwarden or in my hometown, Amerongen.
I work in a shoestore and I love to cook! Italian, Indonesian and some Dutch meals.

but that was far too much information, so me in three words:
Social, happy, active

PHILOSOPHY

If you do what you like, you don't have to work.

Smile to the world and the world will smile to you (thanks youssef:))

Nobody can go back to start again, but every one can start here to make a new end. (that's what my mother told me at the moment school calls me to say that I didn't pass my exams this year...up to next year!)

"lovina is from Love that's why this place is so beautiful" (Lovina is a place at the north coast of Bali)

"I'm doing small thing with great love"

Warum ich bei Couchsurfing bin

Or for a nice talk about the trips we've made or want to make...Beside that you are always welcome for a cup of tea or instant coffee (sorry I don't drink coffee myself).

Eine tolle Erfahrung, die ich gemacht habe

The first trip alone was amazing. It was to Bali and we were very impressed by the Balinese full moon dance.
The second time we travelled from Bangkok to Singapore by train! That was a very interesting experience...the difference between the countries are wonderful!
Last year I worked as a volunteer for Coba Baca (www.cobabaca.org) and I learned a lot about the Balinese life
This year I want to travel to Java & Bali, any recommendations?
