CURRENT MISSION

Discover the world and make the most out of my life!

ABOUT ME

The most awkward thing to fill out haha. Well, I'm a sucker for nature and a bit of a scientist (not a hardcore one). Animals, plants, the world.. it amazes me! Therefore I'm passionate about nature conservation, sustainability, and I'm also a vegan (hopefully you don't mind, if so, let's share our ideas!) and I really like learning new things. Most recently I became a yoga teacher, which I'm trying to practice more now.

Obviously travelling and exploring new cultures is also a big passion of mine. Maybe because I kind of grew up with it. My mum always took me to places and my dad used to travel a lot too. This made me curious about the world.

In the year 2011/2012 I made my first big trip at the age of 18. It was amazing. I travelled for 5 months and visited Borneo, Malaysia, Thailand and Japan. During these 5 months I also volunteered. This helped me to learn more about the culture. In my whole life this was one of my best experiences, followed by studying in Japan for 7 months and living in Ecuador for 3 months.

Now I'm on a world trip again, finally after covid. I will stay in Japan for one year on a working holiday visa, looking for cool jobs :). If you know of any, let me know!

I haven't had much couchsurfing experience yet, only when I was travelling with my sister and a couple of years ago in Japan by myself. This time was amazing and during this next trip I want to do it a lot more.

Pourquoi je suis sur Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'd love to surf more and eventually host more! Right now I have no house of my own, but in the future I will!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I couchsurfed in Kyoto at two places. It was very different, one was with a 70-year old man, who was very fit and soooo friendly that it was amazing. The other was in a student dorm, where they didn't have a lot, but it was still cool. That's when you get to see the real student life :) And how friendly they are! I also hung out with some couchsurf hosts and I loved it. A couple of years ago I also stayed in a rural town in Japan with a really nice hosts who is now a friend for life!
