Overview
About Me
I am an open minded person who loves getting to know people and learn from their experiences and mindset. I worked hard in the past to afford my studies abroad in San Diego, CA and backpacking through Central America afterwards. I have nothing to lose and a world to see :-)
After 8 countries and one year I am home now - I spent all my money, but came home richer than I've ever been... "I urge you to travel
as far and as much as possible
work ridiculous shifts to earn money
go without the latest phone
throw yourself out of your comfort zone
find out how other people live
and realise that the world is a much bigger place than the town you live in
and when you come home
Home may still be the same
And you may go back to the same old job
but something in your mind will have shifted....
And that...that changes everything! ❤ "
I am a host to live after this attitude, so welcome to my home :-)
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
I experienced that traveling can be hard, especially if you are a student like me having not that much money ;-) But traveling; the journey always changes you because it leaves memories and teaches you life - lived by the people you meet.
My goal is to leave something good and get the best out of it :) That is why I want to meet people from all over the world to better understand their way of life, to have a good time and leave something good together in this world :-)
And of course because I believe in the good people, kindness and that a trip becomes 100x better if you have a local on your side!
