About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Explore the world and contribute to making it a better place

ABOUT ME

I'm an energetic and outgoing feminist and climate activist who loves the simple things in life. I'm very open-minded and outspoken, I laugh easily, and I'm addicted to wearing happy socks and drinking coffee. As a real people-person, I enjoy social gatherings of whatever kind: a party, a profound conversation over a good glass of wine, a cook-off, a pub quiz, or a picnic in the park on a lazy Sunday - I'm up for anything :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Although I love to host people - which I've done a lot back in the days - I currently have too many renovations going on in my house to put people up comfortably. However, I'm always keen to meet new people and make friends, so don't hesitate to contact me if you want to hang out! And in case of emergencies we can always arrange something.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Quite a few of my couchsurfing experiences have led to long lasting friendships :)

Interests

I like to work out, drink and dine for hours on end, explore new places, read, debate world politics, go camping and hiking, dance the night away, and experience life in all its 'full on' ways!

Music, Movies, and Books

I'd highly recommend anyone to read 'Shantaram' - this book blends poetry and literature, and is full of inspiring life lessons.
