About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Who is visiting Utrecht during the next summer months?!

ABOUT ME

Hi dudes and dudette's!

I experience it rather difficult to write something about myself however what i can say is that i love to travel and meet new people from all over the world! That's one of the reasons why i travelled to a lot of countries so far and it makes me feel great!
What people say about me is that I am open-minded, adventurious and a socialising person. More about me you should find out when I will crash on your couch or when I am hosting my couch to you!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

My participation in the project will be to learn and experience from the people and their cultures that I will encounter during couchsurfing. The other way around is that people can also learn from my experiences in travelling or whatsoever. Ofcourse I will become a host for couch surfers myself and show them what my country has to offer!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

The couchsurfing experiences that i had so far, where really great! I met a lot of people during my travells in Asia and Australia and New Zealand who are couch surfing members as well.. most of the time they were really openminded, friendly and fun people to meet!

-Travelling (Explore the nature and culture history)

Teach, Learn, Share

The Tourist Bubble... a very well-know aspect if you studied tourism like i did... The Tourist Bubble is something that you like to escape if you really want to interact with the culture and nature of a country that you visit instead of just seeing it from inside a Bubble....
