CURRENT MISSION

Estoy buscando opportunidades para practicar mi español

ABOUT ME

Born in 1987, nice, funny, happy, clean, football-player, reggae-singer, writer, future journalist, sensitive, gezellig, crazy Currently doing my masters in Journalism, which I have dreamed of doing for years.

When hosting or surfing I like to do things together as well as separately. I like to decide together if we will hang out that day or go our own way, and meet up in the evening to exchange stories.

I just came back from traveling and teaching English in Bolivia, Peru, Ecuador and Colombia for six months. Amaaaaazing!

Puedo hablar un poco de español, si tu no entiendes ingles podemos communicar en español, no problemo. Yo quiero practicar mi español contigo!

PHILOSOPHY

Ehmmm.. "All material stuff is never completely yours" makes it easier to throw things away and to accept that my phone has been stolen :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I offer my couch and surf. I sometimes go to couch surf meetings because they have a great vibe where everyone talks to everyone.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've had several couch surfing experiences so far: the first one was in germany, while hitchhiking to Sziget Festival. It was very luxurous: the guy offered me his huge bed and he slept on the tiny couch himself :) Another time was a very pleasant trip to Belgium, where we were pampered by several very kind Belgian CSers.

Other travelexperiences: I have been backpacking through Holland, Germany, Thailand, Cambodia, Bolivia, Peru, Ecuador and Colombia.
