About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Life is for the living

ABOUT ME

I'm an enthousiastic girl that likes to travel, party, talk to people and meet other people. I have studied product development and have done my masterthesis in the Philippines on electric transport - where we prototyped a bamboo taxi vehicle. I also lived in London on Erasmus for one year. Afterwards, I studied global management and I have done my internship on investigation export opportunities in Europe by visiting different countries in the South and North. I am working as a brand manager on Listerine and I just love my job! I have many interests so I like to discuss many subjects and I always want to learn. I love partying and going out with friends. I am always very busy, since I love doing a lot of things and I never like being alone. I have been in a scouts group, student societies, I love painting, squash, rock climbing, travelling etc.

PHILOSOPHY

I want to experience everything I can and I think life is in your own hands. You can make everything happen as long as you try your best.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I want to host people in my shared house in Antwerp (which is a lovely city btw - I would be able to show you many places or give you a lot of recommendations on where to go if you prefer going out alone) and I have been couchsurfing some times myself.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Seems quite similar to the previous question :)

Interests

Since I'm a marketeer, I like to talk about economics, but also about politics, science and many other topics. I just love to learn about anything I don't know yet. I also love arts and rock climbing, and I'm always up for a good chat at the bar and a good party night.

Music, Movies, and Books

I love to read - although I only seem to find time for this during the summer. Besides management books, I loved to read the Stieg Larsson trilogy and the books of Khaled Hosseini.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I loved my experience in the Philippines, but also my trip to South-East Asia where we travelled around Vietnam, Thailand, Cambodia and Laos. We met so many lovely people there!
