Hi friend!

Nice to meet ya. I'm an illustration artist from The Netherlands and I would love to meet some new friends all over the planet. Right now I'm based in Tilburg and me and my boyfriend can be your wonderful hosts if you are planning to visit The Netherlands. :)

I have my own small business as an illustrator and my boyfriend specialises in (tantric) body de-armouring and trauma recovering. We both work with plant medicine and have interest in ancient civilisations, shamanism and exploring the planet!

I am relatively active in the vegan community as an artist and I love to show people everything about plant-based living. Me and my boyfriend are both active in the Global Ecovillage Network as volunteers so we like anything that has to do with permaculture, conscious living and building cool treehouses.

We also play a mean game of Munchkin.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I would like to meet as many cool humans as possible!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Quitting my shitty job at HM.

Teach, Learn, Share

Focus on yourself and do that every day. Don't interfere with others and don't compare yourself to others. You are great and have great capabilities, you might just need to know what they are. Keep an open mind. About. Everything. It will bring you great wisdom and possibilities. Learn to accept your dark side and work with it, not against it.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I live in an old police building. In The Netherlands there is something called anti-squad, because squatting is illegal here. When you have a large property like a mansion or an office building that is going to be empty for a longer time, you can reach out to certain companies that put people in these buildings. We pay very cheap rent and in return we make sure the building seems occupied and lively.

Because of that I have a lot of space so I can assure you you can sleep here comfortably on a bed-couch or airbed in a separate room. We have three cats so be aware that they might be creeping in to check you out.

We can make time to show you around, have a movie night or play games.

Our kitchen is a vegan-food only zone so I hope you can respect that. We are happy to help you out if you don't know what to cook, or we can eat together and have a feast!
