About Me

I was born in the Netherlands but moved to the south-west of France at the age of 4. I then stayed in France until the age of 23 and the end of my engineering studies. I moved to Ireland at the start of 2017, lived for 6 months in the greater Dublin area, and now moved to the west coast, in Ennis, county Clare.

I love traveling, discovering new places, go on adventures, hiking. I always like to meet new people and discovering new cultures. I love to listen to stories people have to tell about their life, trips, experiences...

Furthermore, I like to party and always keep free time to enjoy a good night out with friends.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Couchsurfing is an interesting and cool way to travel! I love being able to get to know people living in the cities and places I visit. It gives the opportunity to meet amazing persons and learn more about a place's culture.

In exchange I am always ready to present the city/region I live in and welcome travelers.
