About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Mochiliar por Colombia & learn to play guitar!

Other thing on my bucketlist: find a job and live for a while any South-American country.

ABOUT ME

Hola hola! People say I’m helpful, positive, athletic, and respectful. I may start off a bit tranquila when meeting new people, but once I feel comfortable I like my crazy dances and I'm down for almost anything. I’m curious, so I’m always all ears and eyes to learn something new. Also, I´m a pescotarian, I don´t smoke or drink. As a host I'll try to make your stay as comfortable as I can.

Things I love:
- Cappuccino
- Yogen Fruz,
- Light(bulb)s
- Campfires,
- Photography museums,
- Nature, especially mountains,
- Tasting local/traditional food,
- Trying weird food combinations,
- Practice (team) sports,
- Watching an impressive, good or funny movie,
- The sound of raindrops ticking on a window,
- The smell of fresh bread (but hey, who doesn't?!),
- Backpacking/road trips,
- Live music and discovering new bands,
- THE SUN...
- Mango's,
- Paella,
- Curry! / Thai / Indian food,
- Etc.

PHILOSOPHY

Teach me! I´m all ears...

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I used to live in a big house with 5 flatmates. We had enough space to host, so I liked to help out as much as I could. Now I like to show couchsurfers around in my city.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

My former flatmates and I had some CS-ers over. It has always been a very nice experience :)!
I´ve surfed in Grenoble, Auckland, Iquique, and met up with a CSer in Havana.
