CURRENT MISSION

Having the best three days of my life in Rio de Janeiro (22 November - 25 November)

ABOUT ME

I am an easy-going, open minded and humble person who is very much interested in meeting people from different cultures. I am 27 years old and born and raised in the Netherlands. I have been living in Amsterdam for 7 years now. I have done two studies: Hotelschool and Master of Business Administration. I have worked as a hotel manager and also started my own company: matchIN.

PHILOSOPHY

I believe in motivation. When you really want to achieve something, you are able to!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Currently I am doing a voluntary work in Passo Fundo, Brazil. I work at Casa Vida which is an organization that offers accommodation to people that receive health care treatments. Casa Vida depends on donations from society. I am doing a marketing project to increase their brand awareness.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have found accommodation in Passo Fundo through couchsurfing. I have stayed for six weeks at a host family. I could not wish a better host family. My stay turned out to be fantastic. I will finish my stay in Brazil by having four days in Rio de Janeiro. I am really looking forward to the next couchsurfing experience.

Interests

I am interested in music, food and sports. I love electronic music, but I am also into all other types. I also like to have culinary experiences and love food from different cultures. Last but not least, I like doing and watching sports, particularly soccer.

Teach, Learn, Share

I hope to grow as a person from the couchsurfing experience: dealing with new people in a different city must be a true learning experience.
