Hi there! I am Clariva, thank you for taking the time to take a look at my profile.

To tell you a little bit about myself:
I’m 29 years old and a graduate student (Media, Marketing & Publishing). Next to that I work as Head of Recruitment &; HR and Recruitment Marketeer for a Software Development company and I’m busy with the start up of my own Concept development company.

As you might be able to tell, I work hard and a lot, some might even say I’m very ambitious. But there’s one thing I feel that’s holding me back from reaching my ultimate best, and that’s gaining new experiences and cultures!

So now I’m on this journey to travel as much as I can. I’ve seen a couple of places but being that a few of my friends here in Amsterdam are expats, I know I’m missing out on some nice adventures by staying in my comfort zone. So... Here I am!

Also: if I ask you to stay at your place I would love it if you would have some spare time to show me around. I don’t mind having to keep myself busy (at all), but if I approach you it’s because your profile caught my eye, and I’m genuinly hoping to experience your city the way you do :-).

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I want to explore new places, get to know new people and gain new insights in ways that wouldn’t be possible if I’d book myself a fancy hotel and followed every tourist guide.
