LIVING STATUS:
Back to the North of The Netherlands

CURRENT MISSION: Intergrating what I have seen, learned and want to give back to the world. Back to work and school, take the time to save and plan a new trip :)

ABOUT ME:
I find honesty, equality and freedom important values to live by. My aim is trying to be the best version of me as I can be, day by day.

I LIKE/AM:

- Laughter, it's such a thrill and amazing feeling when you connect with someone where jokes fly around and you can get the kind of laughter where you almost start crying or your stomach starts to hurt.
- Open-minded, funny and energetic.
- Cooking, I love to create new recipes or to explore new cuisines and cooking styles.
- Traveling, exploring and learning new cultures.
- Enjoy the small things in life.
- Animal lover, I have a cat named Zoef.. she sleeps most of the time, or has a crazy hour of running and flying around.
- Down to have serious and deep convo's, but also talking bullshit and no-nonsense
- Love fabrics; I can browse through shops for hours to find wicked patrons and all kinds of materials that just feel so comfy!
- Second hand shopping - dangerous!
- I really feel at home around forests, trees and lots of green.
- Campfire fan! - nothing beats the warmth cozyness and warmth of a fire.
- Pottery/ceramics enthousiasts.
- Big coffee lover, a good roast makes quite the difference!
- Card game lover, I could play everyday :)
I knew a few card games, but if you could teach me a game I don't know you can score some serious points
- Meeting new people
- My space, I like to hang out and meet people etc, but also need my space to recharge. "Me-time" is important.
- Leaving a place better then you found it. - In nature, wherever you go, also my house :)
- Be the change you wish to see in the world. - you can inspire people this way.

FUTURE:
Would love to travel the world by a boat. Learn how to sail, fish, read and ride the waves

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

It's a great platform to help travellers travel cheap and meeting new people.

Interests

My ultimate dream is to have my own piece of land, build my own house with a veranda all around. With a rocking chair watching sunsets and sunrays. Have my own organic food forest where I grow my herbs, veggies and medicinal plants. Flowers, animals and healthy biodiversire ecosysteem :)

Craftsman stuff. Amazed by glassblowing and woodcarving. Tried some carving myself, but I need to get back into it!
