About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Because I started with Airbnb, my guestroom is now only available for last minute couchsurfing requests, when I don't have Airbnb guests. But feel free to contact me in case of an emergency (even though I may not check my e-mail in time to see your message).

ABOUT ME

I like to get to know new people and I'm extremely interested in what moves them to do the things they do. I'm determined to believe that deep within, everyone is a good person and if you trust people, they will show you respect.
Sounds very serious, but I also just like to laugh, have fun and make a fool of myself.
The main reason why I'm into CS is that I love to have people around the house.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'm afraid I'm not a very good guide and most of the time I don't have much time to spend with my guests. So all I can offer is a bed or a couch and a very warm welcome.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

A few years ago I met a very nice lady who hosts couchsurfers in Portugal and her stories sounded like so much fun that I decided to do the same. Untill now, I haven't surfed any couches myself, I've only hosted people, but it makes me feel like I'm travelling a bit too :-).

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Raising my son all by myself has been the most amazing experience till now! I'm still surprised every day at how wonderful a person he's turning out to be!!!

Teach, Learn, Share

If you're interested, I'll gladly share my personal recipe for health and happiness with you:-). I also have some pretty amazing views (in my opinion) on feminism, human rights, animal welfare and the environment that I like to exchange with the world.
