I'm an outgoing, optimistic and open-minded person who loves to travel and be around people. Due to my job I'm bound to stay home most of the year, but during July and August nothing can stop me from traveling the world. :)
Since the age of 14 I'm a VEGETARIAN - no meat, no fish - but I don't mind when people around me eat meat. ;)
I don't do drugs but I do drink occasionally (who can say NO to a good glass of white wine??!!??)

PHILOSOPHY

I'm a very positive and optimistic person. I always try to see the positive aspects in every situation. I love to laugh!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I've already hosted a couple of times and I have been hosted. Every single couchsurfing experience was great and I plan to participate for a very long time! :)

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

All my CS-experiences so far were great. I travelled through parts of the Netherlands, through Northern Germany, Florida, New Zealand and Tuscany/Italy with the help of CS. There is no better way of getting to know a new region than with locals. :)
