About Me

Hello :)

Just finished backpacking South America with my boyfriend from New Zealand, he is pretty much in line with everything on my bio.

More of a quiet person but love to meet new people from all over the world and learn about different cultures/traditions etc.

I'm vegan since September 2015
and my absolutely favourite hobby is cooking and baking, so be prepared to try delicious vegan stuff !!
(That turned more into flexetarianism, that means I'm vegan as long as that's possible but make exception, for example if there's a successful dumpster diving night with unvegan food that would have to be thrown out otherwise)

I don't drink or smoke and try to eat as healthy as possible.
Alsso trying to do Yoga every day

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Couchsurfing is an oportunity to get to know a country/city/culture as it really IS and not how they want you to see it as a tourist.

I don't like this whole made up "plastic" attractions and things like "Starbucks and H&M everywhere, why should i try something knew".

Interests

I got in touch with surfing in summer 2014 and really liked it very much, I'm not very good at it but would like to pick it up again at some point

I love cooking and I'm always happy to have someone around to share a good meal with !

When i was younger i played a lot of volleyball, still like to do that.

Music, Movies, and Books

I listen to nearly every genre because i just pick out the songs i like. ^^

When partying i prefer something like reggaetton, electro swing (seriously, soo much fun) or nice electronic/house mixes.

The Moviesof Studio Ghibli/Hayao Miyazaki (like princess mononoke, my neigbor tototo, spirited away etc.) are my favourite ones, because they are always giving me the feeling that you can achieve everything you fight for.
But the ultimately very best film of all times is cloud atlas. (shame on me i did't read the book yet :D )

Talking about books : when i was younger i read a lot of fantasy, and thriller (like stephen king or wolfgang hohlbein). Though I still like them my prefered storys at the moment are the ones that could've also had happened in real live or are based on true experiences.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Skydiving over lake Taupo
My first multy day hike in Abel Tasman

Teach, Learn, Share

Any kind of traditional craft thats available in the country i'm currently traveling.
Also languages (spanish is the one i'm focusing at right now)

What I Can Share with Hosts

I love to cook and bake for me and others and also share recipes and different techniques.
You could learn how to knit socks with me.

I've also just learned how to make dreads, so if you'd like to have one or more i'm happy to help
