About Me

CURRENT MISSION: to go and discover Latin America!

My boyfriend (Rolf) and I share a dream to go and travel around the world. I graduated with a specific regional specialisation in Latin America so we decided to pack our things and go. We hope to live our 'Latin American dream'.

Since May we've been travelling. We've visited Cuba and Mexico and did 3 months of housesitting in Panama.

On our way, we hope to meet people like us who love life and want to share experiences. We enjoy a good night out or a fun game-night.

I love listening to music! Unfortunately, I don't play an instrument myself. Moreover, I enjoy to cook food for friends and bake sweet things.

I also like reading books. Currently I' reading "The 100 year old man who climbed out of the window and disappeared" by Jonas Jonasson

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I haven't had a CouchSurfing experience yet! Not many people have been eager to visit my hometown. But I'm planning and hoping to experience couchsurfing this year.

My boyfriend and I are very sociable and we would want to meet people from all over the world. Given that our current mission is to go and discover Latin America we are of the opinion that go and meet people will be the best way to do so. Couchsurfing offers this opportunity.

Interests

My greatest interests are travelling, watching movies and TV-series, reading books, socio-political developments in Central America, Human Rights and 'new' strategies towards development. Also, I really like chocolate and flowers.
