About Me

ABOUT ME

Happy, outgoing, always looking for trips. I was born in Rotterdam, the second city of the Netherlands (in terms of inhabitants, in terms of beauty it's the first of course). I went to Argentina when I was 19 to learn Spanish, and fell in love with Latin America. Went back years later, this time to Mexico, to do my exchange. Traveled a fair bit within Europe too. Now traveling Europe before I move to France in August 2024.

I'm into photography and cinema, wine and languages. I love music but I can't play any instrument (not really) :) We can cook dinners together!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I think trusting strangers is a beautiful way to be a happy person, inviting strangers in your house, being invited somewhere else: this is what life is about y'all!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Hosted people number of times, but just used CS to sleep somewhere in Portugal and Poland. I've had beautiful experiences hosting, meeting people from all over the world. It is always nice to look at your own city through new eyes!!

What I Can Share with Hosts

We live in the centre with a view on the water - but this is only the start. We can cook together, watch films, talk for hours, drink some wine (or not), go out to the bars.
