ABOUT ME

I am a 23 year old woman with many dreams and ideals. I was born Dutch, then moved to Australia whilst still wearing dipers. Having lived the Ozzy life for some 5 years I head for the Middle East, enjoying an amazing Syria for over 4 years. I spent high school in the Netherlands and then quickly fled to Peru, where I hiked every mountain I could find, traveled chollo style and became the daughter to a wonderful Peruvian family.

PHILOSOPHY

Live your dreams, don't dream your life
Live before you die.
If you don't have a go you'll never know.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I surfed some corners of the world. me and two friends started out in Sweden, with exotic couchsurf cocktail parties in Gothenburg. From then I was hooked and made it my mission to spread the word about this amazing phenomenon. I couchrsurfed Portugal and got inspired by the locals who drunk beer in order to prepare for their exams. Last march I had another amazing couchsurf experience in Geneva. Meanwhile i am paying it forward to anyone who travels my way (= From Portugese to Parisians, my door is open to anyone
