About Me

Hi There,

I'm a Dutchy who will be traveling South America for the next few months. I just finished my studies in Applied Psychology and feel like I have to leave to see some more of the world before the grown up working life starts.

My favorite thing to do is to meet new people, as I went to an International school i always feel at ease with internationals around me and enjoy communicating in other languages!

What I love about traveling is that the wonders of nature can make you feel so tiny and small as a human being, and this helps you realize that we have to work and live together to make life fun on this beautiful planet! Meeting these people somewhere else is a great pleasure!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I would love to meet local people during my travels with whom i can speak Spanish and who are willing to show me around their city and their traditions. I enjoy showing people around in my own country and not just the touristy places but also the places which are beautiful and which only little tourists know how to find!

Interests

I like going for a city walk and enjoy the city or the area, drink some strong coffee (which i actually don't like but i have to try it :P) and eat a real Argentinean steak in Buenos Aires for example!

I must say i enjoy the small things in life a lot like having a nice diner with friends and family or strolling around a local market!

Music, Movies, and Books

I just went to a concert of Passenger and he is amazing his music makes me feel happy! I listen to quite mainstream music :D

There are so many series that i enjoy on Netflix and they make me bingewatch like Grand Hotel, Orphan Black, Hannibal and Orange is the new black :P
I also like to watch documentaries like Chef's table!

My favorite book is Eat, Pray, Love by Elizabeth Gilbert, the fact that she leaves everyone and everything to go away and find herself by traveling the world intrigues me and she serves as an example!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Stepping out of my comfort zone and starting this new adventure! Is for me quite amazing !

What it will bring me is still in the future and i am looking forward to the memories and experiences i will gain!

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach Dutch, French and English as i speak these languages fluently and enjoy speaking them!

I can teach you how to ride a bike :P

What I Can Share with Hosts

My own funny Dutchy culture and I enjoy exchanging cultural knowledge and having nice conversations about how things are different and or similar within our cultures. Besides that I love cooking so we could cook together! I have lived in New Zealand for half a year and i can tell you everything about that country if you wish or are planning it to visit it some day :P
