About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To learn to live and appreciate all the nice things life has to offer.

ABOUT ME

I'm rubbish at describing myself. But I have to say that I'm very nice and that I love meeting new people. I have a son that occupies a big part of my time, thats how it should be when you have kids, you should be with them. :)
I work as a teacher and I love it!

I like hanging-out, playing games, music(I don't play any instruments but I would love to learn), film, reading. Cooking is fun if you know what you want to cook, thats usually the problem for me, figuring out what I want to eat. I'm a big fan of vegetables!
I enjoy going out dancing but even more to go and have a drink at a nice a pub, talking.
I love a great book or film that really grabs you from the first page/scene! Thats a wonderful feeling!

PHILOSOPHY

I live to fully enjoy everything, there's no meaning in thinking too much and get all depressed.. I love sharing experiences with different people, that's how you discover who you are.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I have my couch available most of the time, I find it a very good way to be able to "travel" in your own home. I surf if there is a place I want to visit and no one wants or can to go there with me. Its a brilliant idea and makes traveling alone a lot easier. And through CS, you are never alone. :)

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have only surfed a couple of times, but I have revisited one of them.
I have hosted some truly nice people that has helped me strengthen my beliefs in that people are nice and that we all can learn from eachother if we just "open up".

Interests

Reading. Good film. Singing. Cooking. Have a coffee or a drink. Interesting conversations about everything you can think of, I love when you drift away from the subject you started talking about.
