About Me

ABOUT ME

I studied creative leadership and social entrepreneurship at a school called The Kaospilots. A school focused on learning by doing and on helping you to create the change you wish to see in the world.

I currently live and work in Medellin. Organising events, writing my blog, doing life coaching, creating food workshops and cacao ceremonies.

PHILOSOPHY

Just a few quotes that I like:

- Don't cry because it's over. Smile because it happened - Dr seuss

- Be yourself; everyone else is already taken - Oscar Wilde

- The mind is like a parachute it only works when it is open - Frank Zappa

- Assumptions are the root to all evil. Always ask instead of assuming - Me and probably a lot of other nice people :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I joined couchsurfing in the beginning of my hitchhiking trip in 2012. At first I did not know much about it and thought it was a good way to save some money. I then found out that it is so much more than that :)

I have gone to many CS events to meet new people and share experiences. Then I have both surfed and hosted and I love doing both when the time is there. It brings me joy to meet new people, on the streets, in cafes or on CS.
Everyone has a story and I find all people very unique and interesting.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

1. Monachil near Granada in south of Spain. A beautiful small village with mountains, waterfalls and a great place to do a hike!

2. Masada mountain in Israel. Walk up there before sunrise and experience a beautiful view.

3. Les Calanques in south of France. I only saw a little bit of this huge nature area. But from the mountain/cliff there is a beautiful sea view and it is amazing to spend an entire day there and swim in the clear water.

4. The 4 day classic inca trail to Machu Picchu

5. Oruro carnaval 2013 - Bolivia.

6. Lived and worked in Cape Town for 3 months.
