Im in the Spring of my life!

Good day, about me.. My name is Marenthe I live and work as a farmer in the Netherlands and I am an independant female solo traveler. I love doing sports like climbing in the Alps, sailing on a lake and fixing stuff in my new little house. Also I like dogs a lot. a lot. a loot. Im interested in education for sustainability which asks the question how to educate/empower the future generation for the challenges ahead.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

In 2018 in Nepal I met a very very amazing woman and together we walked the Annapurna Circuit. It was an experience that I would never forget and the sheer freedom was immense. So I wanted to visit her and see ther home country she had talked so much about. I went and did my first couch surfing there. The host showed me immense trust and helped me see the area through his eyes. It felt like something just....too good! After this experience I felt ready for some more couchsurfing.

In Japan I was interested in the Japanese kitchen and customs so I met up with an amazing host through Couchsurfing who cooked me a beautiful meal and shared his life stories. I was sold.

After comparing this with other travel experiences, I realized I do not enjoy travelling the regular way while not meeting locals. So thats why I am here!
