About Me

I am a Dutch woman living my dream in Bali and love hosting laid back travelers.
If you are planning to contact me to host you, I would appreciate you read my whole profile, in the "MY HOME" part there is a lot of info I want you to read before you ask to stay with me...

Also You need a complete profile for me to read about you, if you don't have that, don't bother to send me a couch request. I do take people who have no references yet, I understand one has to start with empty references.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love to meet travellers and be amongst people. Since I am living alone, with my animals, it's nice to have people stay over once in a while. I used to host non stop, but now that I'm getting a bit older 😂 ... I can't keep up with the holiday atmosphere (parties) every day anymore. So now I host a lot less, but this doesn't mean you're not welcome ♥

Music, Movies, and Books

I love music, all kinds of music as long as it is played with passion.
Night time I like to watch (downloaded) series or a movie.
Books... I wish I had the rest inside to read books, but somehow they don't go fast enough for me !

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Giving birth to my children is on top of this list.

Being a grand mother is second on this list :)

The beauty of nature is amazing for me everywhere I visited. The flat landscape of my country, especially in the early morning when fog is hanging low above the ground. The lavender fields in the south of France, the impressive colors and shapes of some Spanish mountains, the colorful underwater world in Amed and many other places in Indonesia, where I live now, sunrises, sunsets, full moon, black moon starry skies, and I can go on and on.

What impressed me most untill this day was sailing Raja Ampat (Papua) for 2 weeks with Zirbad pirate boat, visiting Bromo volcano in Java and feel it roar from the center of the earth, and swimming with Manta rays in Komodo national park.
