There's a lot about me! I can talk quite a lot and love to meet people who have great stories to share. Whether it's about the funny shaped potato they saw in the supermarket or about the skydive they did while travelling through different continents.

I'm usually in a good mood and if not - music wil definitely get me there! I'm really bad at singing and dancing, but I love it, so I do it anyway. Authenticity is really important to me. You don't have to be different or the same as other people, just be authentic.

Further I love my independence and autonomy. I don't like to plan things to detail and I like to change my life every now and then.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love to share anything - stories, food or new experiences. Meeting new open minded people can be really exciting and it's the best way to really experience a place if you know the stories of a local. Whether you go together on a trip or just be told where the best places to go are.

Interests

I love good music that has a feeling. Love to dance to that as wel (I'm not skilled though, just do whatever I feel like🙈) I play the trumpet (basic skills) and love to write. I'm usually not too serious, can be quite sarcastic and I'm not good at making/following plans. I like to just do whatever comes to mind. Oh and I do crossfit, but I'm still at the beginner level :) would love to visit some other boxes!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I'm amazed quite easily. If the moon is beautifully shining, if there's an amazing sunset or a weird shaped tree I'm amazed. Most amazing thing yet was the 4 day hike in New Zealand (heaphy track)

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you about dutch culture and language. I can share stories about anything and love to have a good laugh together. I also really enjoy party games!

I'd love to learn about any other culture. Also I would love to learn any new skill or sport! Surfing, snowboarding and wake boarding are quite high on that list!

I love to play (card)games, so happy to bring some cards of different games :)
