Hi, Im Inge Hendrix from the Netherlands.
I used to work as an au pair in New Zealand. I love travelling and meeting new people around the world. I took care of 2 small children of a lovely family in Hamitlon. now I'm back in the netherlands, I'm studying to become a elementary school teacher. I'm in my first year now. Soon graduating first year and another 3 are waiting for me.
I used to live in a few student flats. Moved out and got my own apartment. Just love having the freedom.
I work evenings and nights at MacDonalds as a crewtrainer. Love the job (love my coworkers, they make it fun).

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I like to meet new people and have a great adventure. Also it makes travelling a lot more fun. To meet the locals. They always know the best places to go.

Interests

reading, swimming, travelling, watching series or movies and of course doing awesome things with my friends and going on adventures! I love to be spontaneous and do crazy things. I might just decide to jump on any train and just see where it ends up or something.

Music, Movies, and Books

Music: mostly rock / metal. but anything from classic to the newest music. Favourite band is Paramore. Saw them perform a few times.

movies: First of all: the book is always better. but yeah. I love science-fiction and fantasy. The occasional chickflick.

books: Quite similar to my movie-taste. Favourite book is Eragon.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I did so many amazing things already. I lived in New Zealand for one year. Going out there was one of the best things that I did in my life. I did a bunjeejump, skydive (into mordor, because one does not simply walk), lotr-tour, many awesome hikes, saw the biggest statue of a carrot (about 6m), a midnight poolparty in februari while crashing a stag party and much more!
I also did some amazing thing over here in Europe. One of the best things i did was make one kid so proud because I was able to get him to understand something. He just couldn't get the hang of it. I spent about 45 minutes with him and just explained it over and over again in so many ways until he finally understood. He was so proud and told everyone with the biggest smile on his face.

Teach, Learn, Share

I got a lot of good stories. Even though i'm not the best story teller, but the stories are good. haha.
Anything you don't understand, i'll try to teach you. can't promise I do understand. I got a 3 year old to understand evolution... so yeah... I can always give it a go :)

What I Can Share with Hosts

all my awesome stories, my awesome personality and some yummy drinks. I can give a hand cleaning (became very good at it while cleaning after the kids while I was au pairing).
