I am a 42 year old Dutch woman, non smoker, who loves to travel and therefore quit my job as a theatre producer in Amsterdam. Since July 2018 I explore the world and learn more about all the different cultures. I also love nature, especially areas with “100 shades of green”, and to see local animal life.
Both my parents travel a lot as well and have been long time members of Servas, a kind of couch surfing organization avant-la-lettre and before internet. Therefore we had a lot of people visiting our house when I was young, from all kinds of countries.
I am very close with my family: my mother Karin, father Bas, sister Jessica and her two beautiful children Yara and Roos.
My friends describe me as a warm, loyal, outgoing, social and colorful person.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am interested in the people inhibiting the countries I visit, and not only the travelers I meet in hostels.

Teach, Learn, Share

I would love to learn about your culture, and we can share travel / life stories! If you would like learn more English I can teach you. Or Dutch, or some basic Spanish, French or German 🤓 And I can cook you a delicious traditional Dutch meal - if I can find the right ingredients 🤗
