CURRENT MISSION

To experience, discover, let go, and enjoy.

ABOUT ME

I'm 28 year old, recently graduated from university, and live in a beautiful city called Utrecht. I'm talkative, curious, easily touched by things, people-oriented, nurturing and caring towards others. I'm naturally outgoing and love to do spontaneous things. I'm also very honest, sometimes to the point of being blunt (it's a Dutch thing, I've been told?)

PHILOSOPHY

I'm trying to live according to my own ethics, which can be summed up as 'treat others and the world as you would like to be treated'.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I've only just seriously started with couchsurfing, but I plan on hosting others to pay it forward.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

None yet, so make my day ;) !

Interests

* Having interesting conversations with others is one of my favorite things to do!
* The human mind in all its weird and wonderful ways fascinates me, so I like to learn and talk about psychology, philosophy, sociology, etc.
* I love beautiful things (nature, art, architecture, interior design) and stories (fiction, history, mythology)
* I am an avid reader and movie watcher
*I also like to cook and bake things, but mostly I enjoy eating them afterwards!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I have washed and fed a rescued, crippled old elephant in Thailand, which was amazing to me (and the old girl seemed to be enjoying herself as well!)
