Please read my profile, before sending me a request. Thank you. :-)

I'm a warm, social, sporty and enthusiastic person. Personal development is important to me. After my fourth study, I wanted to do something completely different. No studying and no working anymore. I quit my job and starting traveling in November 2017. Alone. See the world, discovering other cultures, meeting new people, feeling out myself and all sort of things like that.

After 16 weeks I had to go home because of medical problems. I stayed in my county during the summer and continued my trip in October 2018. I'm starting my trip in Japan.

In my country I worked six years as a teacher with students from 15-25 years old. I also have the experience working with asylum seekers. At last, between my 16th-23th I had some different part-time jobs, like waitress/barmaid, working in different shops, baby sitting, animatrice on a camping in France.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Meeting the locals. I think it's the best way to discover a country, the culture and the people of a country.

Just traveling would be nice, but there are more ways to discover in this beautiful world.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

After finishing four studies and working for almost ten years, I quit my job to travel around the world by myself.

During my trip I did and see so many nice things, like singing karaoke with locals in the Philippines, a Thai massage course in Thailand, hiking in the middle of the night, vipassana, cycling around in Taiwan. And of course, don't forget the people I met. Locals, but also people from all around the world.
