About Me

Mingalabar! :)

Ready for my new adventureeeeeeeee! Jep, I am going to study Fine Arts in Tel Aviv until somewhere around July!!! Looking for a place to stay in february (before my semester starts)
Loveeee to couchsurf my way around Israël to meet new people, also going to live in a Kibbutz with an Israeli classmate. Any recommendations and tips are always welcome <3

My home is in a fantastic victorian house in Utrecht, Netherlands. I moved there because I wanted to study at art school 6 years ago. Born by the sea, in the South West, close by the Belgium border.

After traveling and working around the world I started studying for teaching fine arts in Amsterdam. I did not want to come back to the chaotic life of the West, but felt enormous privileged to go to study. AND even study something that I very much like and love.
|It's my dream after graduation to travel around the world, visit India, go back to Myanmar and do volunteering work by teaching kids. Just spreading my knowhow and learn even more.

Since I am going to study in the Middle East, I would love to learn some Hebrew or Arabic. If you could help me out or just sit with me and share a good story about life / some crazy adventures / just chill, that would be amazing :)

After my study planning on hitchhiking from Bulgaria to Spain and wildcamping with my hammock <3

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'd love to spend my time with people and if one day I want to visit some place somewhere I would also love to couch surf. I think it's an awesome alternative to travel/stay somewhere and to make the world a better place to be there for one another (:

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Not ONE but THREE: (haha I love my life <3)

Being part of an awesome bunch of people, who are crazy enough to think that they can create and give magnificent free parties in the middle of the woods of Utrecht and surroundings.

Every year, going to one of the most amazing small artsy festivals on the universe, familiar forest festival. A self made creative place where every person is appreciated for who they are, how they look like and especially just to be.

To live in Myanmar, do volunteering work which has been the most valued an appreciated thing I have done my whole life.

Teach, Learn, Share

Be crazy, but be yourself.
