Hi!

My name is Ineke. I love happy people, adventures, exploring the unknown, extreme sports, nature, animals, music, dancing, jumping, flying, filming, photography, guitars, campfires, planet earth, stars, oceans, mountains, and a lot more!

It's so simple. I love feeling alive.

What a beautiful dream when you just jump into the unknown being lifted by love.

PHILOSOPHY

As I imagine, so I become.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love this way of travelling. Connecting to the right people, at the right time, in the right space. Helping each other. Learning about others and about the beauty of differences and similarities between us.

It's all about vibes. I'll attract you and you'll attract me.

Interests

I love the world, philosophy, music, art, cultures, good food, dancing, reading, poetry, sports, serendipity, meditation, spirituality, nature, hiking, creativity, philantropy and optimism. I am always taking every opportunity to learn valuable lessons through new experiences. I have a passion for travel and I eager to make our world an amazing sustainable place where we can all just enjoy the wonders that surround us.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I have lived in some amazing places (Bolivia, Barcelona, Antwerp and South Africa) where I experienced the best moments of my live so far and where I have seen the most incredible things. But the most important thing I have learned is that the most beautiful things I've done all have one thing in common: They are all experienced through the eyes of my heart and they remind me every time over and over again what is here and what is now in all its beauty. They make me feel ALIVE!

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach Dutch, Spanish, English and a bit French. I can teach you a bit about yoga, meditation, photography, film, the ways I travel, fear/no-fear, magic, and I can try to tell you about the mysteries of my universe.

I love to cook! Let's cook. I like the cook everything from thai curry to italian dishes. But the best meals are just improvised in the kitchen. I am vegetarian so it has to be vegetarian though :-)

We can talk about the universe and al off its secrets, the power of love, conscienceness, art, enhancing creativity, music...
And we will laugh a lot. Because that is lo más importanteee! :-)

I am learning to play the guitar, so every help is welcome. I want to learn to fly planes, learn every sport possible (especially extremes), learn more magic.

Whatever I can share in that moment, I will.
