Hi there! I am a thirtysomething teacher (Dutch as a second language) with too many interests :-)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

If i can't go into the world, then let the world come to me!

Interests

Singing, drinking tea, going to concerts and festivals, hanging out with friends, laughing, yoga, swimming, writing, editing, teaching,... And of course traveling!
Since one year I'm completely into swing dancing: lindy hop, solo jazz, blues and a little bit of shag and balboa.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Hm...
- visiting the refugee camps of the western Sahara. Not a relaxing trip, but very impressive!
- sleeping in a valley in Palestine. Not planned. With a local (just sleeping!), under some goat-shepherd's blankets, under the stars
- being proposed to by the taxi driver in Jericho
- picking olives in Palestine
- picking tea in Nepal
