CURRENT MISSION

to finally get to know this world (a bit better)

ABOUT ME

In summary from what the people around me say:
Bubbly, fun, a bit crazy, good friend, coffee-addict, open-minded, social, ambitious, curious, self-critical, always on the run, a people person, can talk a lot and very fast, but also listen very well.

'Gezellig' (no one can put it better than the Dutch!)

Currently searching for couches in the UK and Ireland, as I'll be traveling there in August. Hoping to find interesting people and get to know their countries/cities.

It might happen that one of my first questions is how to get to the next swimming pool ;)

PHILOSOPHY

For now, my only philosophy is that everyone should have one, or rather, figure out what their own philosophy is. I don't claim to have 'it' found for myself, yet, but I've also come quite some way. I hope getting to see more places (hopefully through the eyes of locals/CS hosts)and people will help me with that.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

First by surfing myself! But once back from vacation, I'd be happy to also host in Amsterdam ;)

Otherwise still figuring out the network/community.. any help and tips welcome!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

None so far - help me make some and help me make them great!
I hope my own CS experiences will live up to my friends' stories.

Interests

People, first and most of all. Always happy to meet new people and get to know their interesting stories or just be part of their lives for a (short) while.
Science, both as a profession and also as a passion (nerdy, not always easy, but true).
Sports, swimming in particular, always been and (hopefully) always will be. Actively and passively.
Travelling, though I am only about to start ;)
