My name is Lieve. I just turned 24. I am living in Amsterdam when I am not abroad. I am happy, and also very lucky I guess. I have everything I could ever wish for! I love discovering new places, but also feel very soon at home somewhere. I love green, and everything that's green, especially when it's nature. I love hiking in mountains and feeling small in huge areas. Also I love big cities very much. They make me feel at home (says a girl from a city in almost one of the most smallest countries of the world). I guess more about me you'll find out easy enough, I am an open book.

At the moment my boyfriend and I are travelling for nine months. We've started in Hong Kong, and are travelling to eventually Iran while crossing China, South Korea, Philippines, Thailand, Myanmar, India and Pakistan.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

It's just a great way to really dive in another culture. Especially in countries where our own culture really diverse from. It's been so nice to feel welcome in someone's home at the first day. Also, what better way is there to learn about the food than by sharing dinners together?

Enjoy the moments you've had instead of feeling bad about what you might have missed out on.

What I Can Share with Hosts

We are interested in different ways of living. We enjoy and appreciate conversations about our differences and similarities. We love sharing our stories and hearing about yours. And of course we would love to return the favour one day whenever you're in Amsterdam.
