About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Livin', Laughin', Lovin all ova the world

ABOUT ME

I'm travelling by myself, doing a little soul searching, figuring out how I fit into this big world. It's so easy to get caught up in the stress of life/work/whatever your social expectations are, and worry too much about really little things. I just wanna find the big love in everything. AWWWWWW!
After the Olympic games in Beijing, I think I am now one third Brazilian and one third Dutch, OLE!

PHILOSOPHY

I live for connecting with people, there is nothing like that feeling when you share a true open and honest connection with someone who was just another person on the street till you looked in their eyes or shared a story or a truth or a laugh.
I honestly want to laugh my way across the world - I cam really enjoy myself, but tend to be a little serious and want to make every day just about letting it flow, YA KNOW?

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I am travelling for the past year, surfing couches and meeting many great people and trying to learn about different cultures, languages, lifestyles etc.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Have surfed couches in Australia, Bali, Philippines and China, and have met some great characters and true friends thru CS

Interests

Learning guitar, singing (mostly restricted to in the shower!) beach volleyball, running to explore new cities, listening to local live music, collecting languages (HALTEN DINE SCHNABBEL! ICH MUUS BLASSEN!), beer at sunset, surfing. Will be teaching English in Thailand in October.
