Raised to Aruban-Dutch parents growing up in the French-speaking multicultural city of Brussels, having spent considerable time in Aruba, Brazil and Georgia (Republic of), and currently living in the Netherlands, I consider myself a transnational and openminded person with many cultural backgrounds. I also like to adopt something of the culture or spirit in every place I visit, or at least reside in.
I am very curious person, and I am passionate about discovering, whether it be about some spiritual concept, a cheap travel opportunity, a hidden great place in town, a new recipe... or just re-discovering something supposedly so normal.
Even though I like substance, I also believe it is very healthy to not always take life and yourself too serious either. ;)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I like discovering places from the inside out, experiencing their real cultures by getting to know hidden places, local people and customs.

Music, Movies, and Books

I love Latin American music and music related to that, mainly samba and bossa nova, also salsa and cuban music, and lately also Capeverdian music. In terms of electronic music: definitely nu disco with their sexy retro synths.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Always chosing my own life path and staying true to myself

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you to dance salsa and bachata (when staying with men, women are required though ;) ), cooking dutch mashed potatoes (and also some italian and asian recipes), and my unique perspective on things. However, I am especialy curious to learn from others as well!

What I Can Share with Hosts

Various things like fun, deeper conversations and tasty recipes, but most importantly: friendliness and respect, which I also expect from my hosts.
