Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have had good experiences for 90% but recently had a negative one in toronto it really scared me.. the one time i did not check the references of somebody it goes bad.. i ran away from there and luckily found another place to stay.. 2 nights later i had another host planned in boston and i hoped it would be better.. telling myself.. please, let it be a nice host.. and it was :)

besides this negative experience i keep ha ING faith thatmost people are good and its been proven to me in all the otter voert possitive experiences i had.

Music, Movies, and Books

I love to watch movies! i can completely get in the other world if its a good one
I do like reading but i am not good at it i think. when i start reading a book, it takes me a long time to finish it.
I don't have a specific genre of music that i like. it depends on the moment. there is not a lot of music that i don't like.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I change it to "a few amazing things i've done"

When i turned 19 i went to scotland on my own. just me and my backpack. i was there for a month and went all round, from edinburgh to perth, aberdeen, inverness, from there to the western isles, to the north and back to edinburgh. Till now, this was the journey that changed my life!
or also made me look doe more travel adventure 😆

i lived on a farm in norway in the summer of 2011 and this was an organic very basic farm in the mountains.. it was like going back in to time, no electricity or bathroom.. really interesting
🐏

i was part of a smalltown community in tamil nadu, india and this was a great experience. lovely children
🙏

i climbed gunung agung in bali, never thought i would reach the summit!! :)
🗻

i have seen an interesting way of preparing ckickens very fresh.. in china town of Kuala lumpur. kill, boil, shake very fast in barell to get fethers of and then bath in cold water.. all in 10 minutes.. impressive!

The second half of 2012 i've wandered through the united states, 🗽worked on some farms, saw amazing natural beauty, was surprised by the differnt cultures within the states..

Travelling around made me richer in any way.
Now i started a new chapter in life..
Creatief an educational farm for mentally challenged people

Teach, Learn, Share

Everyone knows something or is interested in something..
I think that we can teach and learn from each other our whole lives as long as we get together to share the knowledge.
