ABOUT ME

I live with some flatmates in a big house in downtown The Hague. The place is right between the city centre and the beach.

PHILOSOPHY

There is always a way

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Showing people around, tell about history, and I love to learn about new cultures. So I guess by interchanging cultural differences and afterwards spreading the word of the wonders of cultural diversity:)!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Tromso, had a really cool time there walking the Polar Night Marathon and meeting a very nice host. Oh and Poitiers in 2011, also an awesome host:)!And in 2011 we crossed the states couchsurfing, really enjoyed all the different type of hosts. From rich to not so rich, alternative, name it and we experienced it;)!

Interests

Reading in a parc, or reading in general. Good thea, or chocolate, Running my ass off on a 5k or 21k. Sailing the coast of the Netherlands (but eventually Norway!). Rebuilding an old French farm. Making jelly, and chopping wood in a romantic manner, sleeping in the middle of the field, pitch dark, under a clear star sky, dreaming about the endless galaxy and all it's potential wonders... And off course; FRANCE!!!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Walking through the barren of Iceland.

Teach, Learn, Share

Well, the most important thing to teach is off course we only have one planet. We should try to find a way to get to know as many cultures as possible, without destroying local heritage (I mean, just look at the Niagra falls....). That way we can learn not to be afraid of each other, whilst learning and discovering all new stuff:). Things like couchsurfing help a lot off course..
