CURRENT MISSION

Make friends, finish my school & TRAVEL!! :)

ABOUT ME

I'm Madelon, I live in Haarlem with my parents.
During the week I'm at school. I play with fire, literally, because I just love to give fire shows!
All day I dream about travelling, getting away from here & explore the world. When I get the opportunity, I will be gone! :)
I would like to meet new people and show them around @ Haarlem.

PHILOSOPHY

I'm waiting, until I can go & see this world. Finish school & I'm gone :).
I enjoy this life, but I'm really attracted to nature, and different things. I need to see more things! Meet new people, from all over the world!
I want to learn things from other people, and teach!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I would love to travel all over the world, but I think I need your help :).

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I was in the dunes, all alone. The sun was setting, the sky was orange/pink, and I was just sitting there, peaceful, for hours.
When the sun was drowned by the sea, I stood up, and by doing that I scared all the birds who were hiding in the bushes - after hours of peaceful quietness, there were hundreds of birds circling around me :).

Teach, Learn, Share

I can share a lot of things with you! As I said, I love fire shows, so maybe you could be a volunteer in one of my shows, hehe :).
I know a lot of music and movies, if you're tired and don't want to do anything.
I've lived all my life in Haarlem, and I can show a lot of things in my town. There's forest, beach, Amsterdam nearby, and I like to go to all the places.
In exchange I want to know everything about your country, and why you're travelling & where you've been :). I want to know everything about this world, and what it's like where you come from!
