ABOUT ME

I'm an easygoing, energetic person, very interested in everything around me. I love to travel and meet up with old friends and find new friends. I'm always in for a chat.

PHILOSOPHY

I live my life to learn as much as I can and to have fun! We only have one life we know of so let's use it best we can :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Music, Movies, and Books

too many books to list them all, but what I like most is storys about people, about how they stand in live, how they think, how people develope and grow in their lives, that sort of stuff. A few titles: memorandum by Marlene van Niekerk, Spijkerschrift and De reis van de lege flessen by Kader Abdolah

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I have seen and done many amazing things! But one thing I liked best, was to spend some time on a island on the west side of Scotland (Canna and Sanday, Small Isles). One night we were camping out on a hill and it was so quiet, there was no wind at all (the flames of the candles did not move...), there was no light (except one house, because of a birthdayparty) and there was no sound to be heard. and then on the horizon we saw some lights, and after a while the lights became piles of light going through the sky!! amazing!! then we realized that we were seeing the northern light (aurora borealis). Beautifull!!! This is something I will never forget :)

Teach, Learn, Share

Well first of all I am a economics teacher. So I know a lot about the economy in the Netherlands and Europe. I also teach business economics (for people who want to start their own business). Besides all this, I love cooking, juggling, knitting, embroidery, making clothes, spinning whool. I love to teach and explane how things work. What I would like to learn is to speak proper Spanish and French. Maybe there is someone out there with whom I can share my knowlodge!
