ABOUT ME

I'm an enthusiastic, open-minded and adventurous person. I like to see the beauty in people and everything around me and I don't get bored easily. I like good and meaningful conversations and making connections with people. Like many of you, the travel bug has bitten me and all I want to do is discover the world and meet the people living in it.

CURRENTLY TRAVELING IN FRANCE
After 9 months in Asia, my boyfriend Maxim and I are backpacking in France in September and October 2022. We are open to meeting new people, receiving recommendations and being hosted by locals!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Last November, my boyfriend and I quit our jobs and moved out of our apartment to travel in Asia for an indefinite period of time. After 9 months traveling in Sri Lanka, Thailand, Indonesia, Nepal and India, we decided to spend the rest of the year backpacking and hitchhiking in France and Spain!

Teach, Learn, Share

We are interested in learning how to surf and improving our outdoor climbing!

We can talk all night about traveling and are happy to share our best travel stories and recommendations! We are very interested in your local (or not so local) travel tips :)

We loooove to cook and are more than keen on preparing a lovely meal for you!

Up for a jam session? Whichever music instrument you put in Maxim's hands, he'll want to learn how to play and Janne can sing! ;)

What I Can Share with Hosts

Deep meaningful conversations, our cooking, our language skills,...

After years of reading books, following classes, retreats, trainings... I am now committed to becoming a life coach! Have a powerful coaching session with me in which I support you to reach your biggest goals in life.

Maxim is one the most enthusiastic, optimistic and creative people in my life, whatever idea you'll share with him, he'll run with it and make you want to realize it right away! It's hard to put in words, but a yes-can-do kinda vibe is what he'll bring ;)
