Always hard to describe yourself, isn't it? Your words will say something about your perception of how you are in relation to people around you. Maybe it even says more about how you want to be, instead of how you really are. But in the end we seem to need some words to hold on to, at least to begin with. After that, I believe, we feel the truth.

So, I'm a thinker. I appreciate realness and I love to experience passion. Always in search for magic. Also searching for a 'good' way of living and I can't help my self trying to improve things I encounter. I dream a lot, like to talk about ideas and I am very easily distracted by the beauty of things..

Lots of traveling- and couchsurfing experience, as well as a host and as a surfer, in many parts of the world:)

CURRENTLY: Travelling through Argentina! 🇦🇷 Would be lovely to avoid the traveller’s bubbles and have as many local experiences as possible 🥰

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I've hosted a diversity of people in the past 5 years and it brought me something great each time. It didn't matter if it was a group of friends or a lone traveler who stayed over. It always ended up in a great night out, an interesting conversation or a new experience. For me this is priceless. And surfing myself, I love to peek into the life of locals for a (few) night(s) and forming a more complete image of the town or country than I would just by traveler-stories. Also I think sleeping in someones home (or hosting someone) connects me with people in a personal and interesting way, which has my absolute preference when it comes to connecting to anyone.
