CURRENT MISSION My current mission is to travel as far away from my comfort zone as I can, learn lots about life and myself and overcome things I thought I never could.

ABOUT ME I used to live in The Netherlands all my life, but moved to Dubai nearly 4 years ago.

PHILOSOPHY I think listening is the best way for me to learn new things. I like to be open to new philosophies, and I may agree or not agree, but I don't think judging people because you think a different way is right. I also believe anything can be conquered if you set your mind to it and let bad thoughts go.

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING I'm not really attached to the Dutch culture, but I can share it with you. As well as the nice spots I have discovered so far in Dubai, such as the old part of Dubai. Memories take a big part in experiencing things, so let's make it good ones!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE I have been hosting and I tried CS'ing myself in Lisbon. Met up with a bunch of people in different places, too.

兴趣

At the moment I try to fit cooking, studying, reading and workouts in the time that I'm in Dubai, and when I'm travelling I'm always trying to go for a hike and wrestle my camera to take pictures to my liking.

音乐、电影和书籍

Books that impressed me most: Braving the wilderness, Becoming, give me anything Oprah wrote and I’m content.

我做过的一件不可思议的事情

Getting my diving certificate - I’m scared of open water and this helped tremendously.

教，学，和分享

I can teach you how to ride a bike, what the difference between the real Gouda cheese and the Gouda you find worldwide is, I can tell a load of random facts that magically disappear into the deepest corners of my brain when you ask for them, but pop up at the most unexpected moments.

我可以与沙发主分享些什么

Food and conversations. And hopefully a new adventure.
