About Me

Haha good question! In general people find me spontaneous, extravert, open minded and a bit crazy I believe 😇

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Travelling Australia I heard about couchsurfing from other backpackers. I didn't join couchsurfing actively until last summer holidays tho, because then I went interrailing in Europe with a friend of mine and couchsurfing in Copenhagen and Bratislava, which was superfun and therefor hosting interests me as well now :)

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

See above :) Since returned from interrailing, I so far hosted three in my student home in Leiden, a girl who was cycling the world from Croatia, a guy from Israel who wanted to get to know Holland a lot better and a Chinese guy who lived in Italy. All were supernice experiences, so intend to keep up the hosting and surfing.

Interests

Liiiike: yoga, mediation, personal growth while dancing, singing, hiking, traveling, learning Italian, practicing Portuguese and intentionally discover truth🍀 Some day I wish to hike the Pacific Crest Trail, sail around the world, live in an ashram, play in a band and write, not to forget jumping a parachute!😁
