CURRENT MISSION

Being curious.

ABOUT ME

I'm a straight forward, cheerful and rather laidback person. Funny, always honest and try to laugh as much as possible.
After high school I wanted to go somewhere, so I found an au-pair family on the internet, bought a really big suitcase and booked a one way ticket to England. It was great! I stayed with them for nearly a year. Afterwards, I still lived in Brighton for about 2 years while doing a photography course. Next I moved to Portsmouth to do a foundation year at a University. After 3,5 years in England I decided to change something major. I applied for Uni in the Netherlands, packed my big bag again and graduated in 2014. At this point I live in Toronto on a working holiday visa. Not sure what will come out of it but... adventure!
I'm not a rapid traveler. I tend to go places, stay a while, make them feel like home and then move on to another country. The only downside of all that is that my beloved friends live literally all over the place and it's often impossible to gather all of them at once.

PHILOSOPHY

Live and let live.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Unfortunately I can't host at the moment. Right now I'm in transit and soon I'll live with other people where we're unable to provide that space.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

None, never used it! Excited to start!

I enjoy reading biographies.
I'm very interested in gender studies and queer and feminist issues.
I'm into online sketch comedy shows and web series.
I really love kids, spending time with them and looking after them.
Snowboard. Candy. Animals.

Music, Movies, and Books

Electronic music - ambient, through deep house and minimal to techno - plus some 90s music too, even though everyone says it was terrible.
I love comedy but can appreciate a good drama or mystery. Hate horrors.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Jumped on a train in London to go to a party in Belgium that same day only to return back to the UK the next day.

What I Can Share with Hosts
