Hi there! I’m Janice Charles, a Dutch Caribbean global citizen on a mission to raise the vibration of love on Earth 🌍.

Born and raised in Curaçao, the most beautiful island in the Dutch Caribbean 🇨🇼, I'm currently living in the Netherlands 🇳🇱. Passionate about life and laughter, I believe in the healing power of a good laugh 😂 and its ability to make us breathe and enjoy the moment. I speak Papiamentu, Dutch, English, and Spanish. Understand a little bit of Portuguese, Italian, and French.

I love to keep my inner child alive, be around people with purpose 👶❤️ and learn from others. My family means the world to me, and I’m deeply grateful for my ancestors' sacrifices, which enabled my accomplishments today 👵👴.

Professionally, I wear many hats: inspirational speaker, healthy water specialist, stand-up comedian 🎤, realtor 🏡, marketing expert 📈, graphic designer 🎨, business analyst 📊, hospitality cleaning specialist 🏨, banker 💰, tourism enthusiast ✈️, and relocation officer. I’ve pretty much worked in almost every sector!

I’m a self-educator 📚, a flexitarian foodie 🍲, and food critic who finds rest and peace in a spotless clean home 🧼. I love speed cars 🚗, dancing 💃, stand-up comedy 🎭, musicals 🎶, and walks in nature 🌿. I also enjoy all types of water activities, except diving 🌊.

Easy to talk to and drawn to happy people, I’m here on Couchsurfing to make traveling more accessible and fun, especially during tough economic times. I am excited to make new friends who share the same dreams and knowledge 😊.

Let’s connect, laugh, and share adventures!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

As I've grown older, I've realized I have two hands—one to help myself and the other to help others 🙌. I'm on Couchsurfing to make travel more accessible and enjoyable, especially during these tough economic times 🌍💼. It's a great way to make new friends 🤝, share dreams 💭, and exchange knowledge 📚.
