About Me

I'm still writing on this part. But please feel free to read what I already wrote. :°

For the moment I'm studying Master of Business ERP in Melbourne, Australia. It's really interesting. Not only the classes but also the international context. It's not always easy, but it is always interesting.

After highschool I studied geography because I love the world and I wanted to know why it is so beautiful. On trips I'm still in owe about the wonders of nature and the immense amount of time that shaped the landscape and that diversified the animal kingdom.

Later I worked 3,5 years in a youth organization that organized holidays for youngsters with a disability.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I always liked the idea of couchsurfing. It's a great way to get to know people from other places. In january I went to Myanmar with a Myanmar friend and now I'm totally convinced that hanging around with locals and being is guest is so much more interesting than being a tourist.

Interests

Bushwalking/ hiking, board games, improvisational theatre, hanging around with friends, travelling, spirituality, being in nature, learning and giving training.

Music, Movies, and Books

I really like reading romantic stories of for example Jill Mansell or Sophia Kinsella. At the same time I'm a bit embarrassed to admit so, even to my self, that's why I always read them in English. "I'm reading them to practice my English, not because they are real literature".

Further I like books of Paulo Coelho, the kite runner of Khaled Hosseini. the Hungergames. Let's say I like to read everything with a lot of emotion. I like to cry and laugh when I'm reading a book.

One thing that is annoying about reading books: I can't put them away. That's really not good for my social live.

Music I like, is everything that is easy to sing along.

Series I like are White Color and the West Wing. Others I didn't really try, because here again, I can't stop watching till the whole series is finished and that takes a while.
