CURRENT MISSION

Do not fear the unknown.. Explore it.

ABOUT ME

What I love most is to experience new things, meet people who make me laugh until my stomach hurts and see views that take my breath away.

PHILOSOPHY

Don't let fear dictate your life. Comfort and safety is nice, but the fun begins once you step out of your comfortzone and into the unknown.
Also I refuse to let past experiences dictate my trust in people and will always look for the good in both people and a given situation.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Show as many surfers as possible a good time, and ofcourse, tell everyone who wants to hear about my great experiences with couchsurfing..

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I love it when i meet people who have something to say and give me food for thought.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I'm not good with just selecting one as I am so grateful for so many experiences, but here are some examples:

- Wildcamping during a snowstorm in Iceland.
- Completing a 180km solo hike in Ireland.
- Hitchhiking in Mexico.
-Swim with the glowy lights in the sea during a starry night.
- Boarding off of an active volcano in Nicaragua with an overview of the jungle and other volcano's
- Last sunrise of 2012 from the summit of Mt Mozes in the Sinai desert.

Teach, Learn, Share

Trust. Don't be so suspicious when you meet new people. CS shows you that whenever you treat people decently, they will be good to you as well. This has got to be one of the aspects i like most of the whole idea of couchsurfing.
