I am an easy-going, open-minded girl who likes meeting new people. I like to explore new things, such as couchsurfing :) I enjoy meeting my friends, playing games and making music, eating and laughing together. But on the other side I can be quiet and thoughtful. I love to talk with people about personal development, their passions and dreams. I live together with my girlfriend in a quiet and green neighborhood of Utrecht.

My favorite quotes:

Be the change you want to see.

Don't ask what the world needs. Ask what makes you come alive, and go do it. Because what the world needs, is people who have come alive.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I hosted quite some people now, which was always a very nice experience. I surfed in Germany which was a great experience! It's amazing to meet people that easily and it makes traveling way more fun.

I really love it that no matter who you are hosting, there is always a certain 'click' of having something in common. It has something to do with being interested in other people, being openminded and enjoying the world in as many ways as possible. And it inspires me every single time.

As I love connecting to my guests, I prefer it if people stay for a minimum of two nights. Then we have more time to spend together and to have fun!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

A few years ago, I got my certificate for parapenting. The feeling of flying is just amazing, and makes you want to do it more and more. And no, it is not scary :)

Teach, Learn, Share

I can learn you to play guitar, maybe writing songs. I would love to take you around in Utrecht and show you all the nice spots. I like to talk about non-violent communication, sustainability, personal development, being acceptive and grateful. I would love to learn how to draw and how to cook (better).

What I Can Share with Hosts

I am always grateful if someone takes the time to welcome me in their house and will take into account the wishes of the host. I would love to cook a meal or take my host out for dinner.
