EXPECTED TRAVEL INFO: My partner and I will travel to Faro, Portugal by train end of September, beginning of October. Expected stops in Marseille and Barcelona, perhaps somewhere else too. Happy to be hosted! Reason why we travel: we have to visit my aunt’s wedding party in Faro, which is a burden when you want to avoid the airplane. Therefore, a journey and adventure will start 27th of September.

There are so many lovely things in life, the older I get, the more I start enjoying the little things. Sounds corny, but it’s true.

I finished my masters in Clinical Psychology and I have a huge passion for environment. I used to be very active in the activistic scene, but the last two years I have focused on my personal life more.

I have settled in Utrecht this year with a new job. I am happy to host but we have to be creative as the appartement is small, but cute!

I’m a genuine, kind person and also respectful, friendly and considerate in the house. That goes for both hosting and staying.

I’m fine with spending time together, but if you are busy, I’m also fine with exploring by myself. // Or, when I host, I’m happy to show you around but I usually work 4 days a week at least.

All the best,
Delano

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I believe traveling should be for everyone, with everyone. My experience is that the best memoral moments in traveling come from moments that you spend with locals.

Music, Movies, and Books

Photography is something I really like. Music taste is really diverse, I like art house movies more, and the books I read most are for my studies lately, but a good non-fiction book recommendation is always welcome. I’d like to read both the Harry Potter series and Lord of the Rings series some day.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Travel by train to Lissabon in a 5 week trip. I had a 3 week holiday in France, and on our way back from central France to Paris (and eventually Netherlands) I changed my mind. After oir few days stay in Paris I waved my friends goodbye. They went back home, I went the opposite way to Marseille. From there the journey began.

Teach, Learn, Share

I think I have some life experience. I am quite open and I am happy to listen to stories and knowledge of others. In the end I’m always true to myself and that’s I think one of my main strengths. Happy to be me and to share that with others.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I’m open, I can listen and I can share. I’m curious to know people if they let me, whatever background they might have. Whatever the day brings, I’ll always be respectful and have my heart in the right place.
