About Me

CURRENT MISSION

1 week Italia, 9 - 16th July. enjoying the good life, I let myself be surprised by the wonders of Italy :-)

ABOUT ME

the JOY of life. There is so much to enjoy my friend! For me there is much joy in meeting people, making contact from human to human, discovering similarities and differences. I'm open to connect and expect nothing. Than you'll see there will be a something spontaneously!
There's very much joy for me in dancing & music. I'm passionate & calm. I'm decadent & a hippy. Spiritual & down to earth. I care about you & like to learn from you. Getting inspired.

PHILOSOPHY

it's all about people. We are it!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I like to meet you & I'm happy to be a travel partner and companion to those who need it.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

never surfed the couches before, just discovered it so now I start asking my friends about CS and they are all so ENTHUSIASTIC!! Traveling, meeting people, getting tips for the best local museum/restaurant/hot spot/shop/nature. CS is even a better invention than the paper-clip!!

Interests

I LOVE music. All kinds! the Beatles, opera, funk (Curtis Mayfield, the Gap Band), soul (the Temptations, Sly & the Family Stone), rock (Pink Floyd, the Mars Volta, Nirvana), hip hop (Jay-Z, Outkast), Radiohead, Zappa, jazz (John Coltrane, Dexter Gordon), dance (Tiësto, Red Fulka, Simian Mobile Disco), Jeff Buckley, Prince and much more, as long it moves me.
Really like to do some (creative crazy) dancing. Organizing & enjoying Dancewalking in Amsterdam. Check Dance Walk NL on Facebook.
Love nature, a good hike, the smell of the trees, the colors, it makes me really relaxed & happy.
And also important, styling! Great clothes, nice shoes, fancy stuff. Do some nice shopping.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

In 2010 I did my first bungee jump @ Bali, Indonesia & after that I enjoyed the miracle of the sunset @ Tanah Lot (just Google pictures for sunset Tanah Lot and you know what I mean).
Once I went for a hike on my own in France @ "Hauts plateaux du Vercors", it's a plateau up in the mountains, no cars allowed, no camping allowed, can't live there, so you're really one with nature, beautiful! ....until I got lost.... In the end it worked out just fine but OMG what a weird scary impressive experience it was!

Teach, Learn, Share

Like to learn more about cooking. Definitely gonna drive a Maserati and/or a Lamborghini when I'm @ Italy. Like to know what you think about the earth, prosecco, Nelson Mandela, woman, a really beautiful tree, dancing, a red flower, traveling, sex, movies, what makes you cry, have any outrageous thoughts? what about a yellow flower, you fall in Love easy? In Love with live? struggling? searching? what did you discover? Like to share my thoughts feelings & expierience
