CURRENT MISSION

Becoming a better chef

ABOUT ME

I'm interested in other cultures and countries. I love cooking, eating and dancing. I don't have facebook. Not because I don't know how to create a profile but I think it's not interesting to tell what I'm doing.
I like to take care of people, so I will do my best to make you feel at home.
I love hosting people, but I'm not just a couch. For me couchsurfing is about meeting people, share stories, learn things from each other and having a good time together. I really don't appreciate impersonal, copy-paste requests. Make sure you've read my profile.

PHILOSOPHY

One of the most important things I learned is that you can't carry someone else's burden. Because if you take over, the other person can't solve it.
The other thing is: you can always make a choice. No matter what happens, it's up to you how to deal with it.

Get out of your comfort zone, and smiling is for free :-)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I host couch surfers and I surfed some couches as well :-) I visit the weekly meeting quite regularly. It's a good way to meet some new people!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I started hosting people about a year ago. I had only good experiences! I met a lot of interesting people and because of them I had a great summer :-)
My experiences as a surfer were also very good.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Driving on the Great Ocean Road was amazing!

Listening to Carmina Burana in the antique theatre of Taormina.

Having dinner in a Michelin star restaurant

Travelling on my own through Laos

Teach, Learn, Share

I love cooking, so if you want to learn (or just have a nice dinner): you're welcome! But I'm also very curious about new dishes.
I will share food anyway :) And I like to show that Rotterdam is best discovered by bike. I arrange one for you so we can cycle through Rotterdam together.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can cook for you or teach you how to cook or bake. I can also bring typical dutch things.
