About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Enjoy South America & learn more Spanish

ABOUT ME

Finished the bachelor of psychology in the Netherlands. After that, I travelled to France, Spain, Argentina and Chile. I'm back in Holland now and going back to Chile in december. I enjoy singing, dancing (Salsa at the moment), meeting with friends, and planning fun trips (mostly hitch-hiking trips to different places in Europe).

PHILOSOPHY

Estoy pensando ... right now my philosophy would be "follow your heart and don´t be afraid"

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'd like to cross borders and I think CS is one way of doing this.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've hosted 5 times and all my guests were wonderful! I've surfed many more times (in Madrid, Munich and Schmallenberg, among other places), and during some of my trips the friends I was with stayed at several CS addresses, in Vienna and in Paris. Just got back from a trip through France, Italy and Spain and have met with and stayed with many CS'ers. And now I´m connecting with the CS community in Santiago.
Only good experiences so far!

Interests

I like sports, singing, playing with kids, camping, mountains, sailing, playing guitar, swimming (especially in the ocean), languages, hitch-hiking, campfires and of course spending time with friends and family. And surfing! (thanks to Pichilemu)
