CURRENT MISSION

Visit Europe through the eyes of locals

ABOUT ME

I work as a psychologist in training at the University of Barcelona and finishing my master clinical psychology. I am already a clinical neuropsychologist but I wanted to learn more about cognitive behavioral therapy.
I moved to Barcelona in July 2012 to live together with my boyfriend Adria and the life here is really good. I love the relaxed way of living, the sun, the food and the fact that the people at the local market here know me!
I grew up in Amsterdam and I still feel Dutch. I miss cycling, I love cheese and get excited about drop (licorice).

Adria and me are together since 2010. We met in Sicily so we're quite an international couple. Adria grew up in Barcelona. He's a chef with an enormous passion for food, wine and cooking. Also he loves skating, horse back riding, zombies, making photos with his Diana camera.

PHILOSOPHY

When one door closes another one opens

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'm willing to show people around Barcelona and in Amsterdam I've been a host for two years.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have hosted 8 people from all over the world until now and I really liked it.
I love showing my town in a different way, which I prefer to call the real Barcelonian life. Including eating, partying and living the Barcelonian way.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

The Grotta Azzura in Sicilia. The way the light breaks on the water and gives it a wonderful glow, amazing!

Teach, Learn, Share

I would love to tell you anything about clinical (neuro)psychology. I can teach you some cooking (risotto ai funghi!!). I also know some languages (Italian, English, Spanish, German, Dutch and some French) which I really would like to share and practice to keep them fresh. I can also teach you basic yoga.
