I won't be able to host in January due to exams! Happy holidays!

I am Marloes, 31 years old (but age is just a number ;)). I am from Holland but I've been living in Belgium for the past 9 years. I'm studying Veterinary medicine. My goal is to buy a van and travel fulltime to help stray dogs and cats abroad. Helping animals and humans and traveling are the things that set my soul on fire!
I like to connect soul to soul, please leave your masks at the door if you feel comfortable enough to reveal your true self, you are safe here :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Couchsurfing has brought some amazing people into my life and I believe there is a reason for meeting every single one of them. Everyone has something to teach you and to share with you and I have experienced some wonderful connections and learning opportunities, for wich I am very grateful. I am excited to meet even more hosts and surfers in the future!

Interests

I love animals, after I graduate I want to travel and rescue stray dogs and cats. I have an adopted cat and I am a foster mom for stray cats for a cat rescue organisation.
I love cooking and baking vegan food.
I love singing and I'm learning to play the guitar.
I love being in nature and walking barefoot, it relaxes me.
I obviously love traveling, especially hitchhiking and wild camping/couch surfing.
And last but not least, I really love connecting with amazing humans, can't get enough of that!

Music, Movies, and Books

I listen to music every day, I can't imagine a life without it! I love to sing and I love to dance! I love a lot of different types of music.
I don't watch a lot of movies anymore, but some of the last ones I have watched and loved were Captain Fantastic, The Goddess Project and The Power of the Heart.
I love reading, but I don't find enough time to do it, the book I have just started to read is Women Who Run With the Wolves.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've rescued a few animals that needed help, one of them was dying and I saved his life. I hope to save as many animals as I can once I have graduated!
Also becoming vegan three years ago, after ten years of being a vegetarian is one of the best choices I've ever made!
Last, but not least, I am very proud of my personal growth that I have worked very hard on for the last couple of years.

Teach, Learn, Share

I would love to connect with you, soul to soul, I hope you will feel safe enough to reveal your true self :)
I love to exchange adventure stories, please tell me about your adventures!
I love to sing, if you can play an instrument, maybe we can make music together!
I love to cook, I would love to cook a nice vegan meal together, also interested in swapping recipes!
I would love it if you would take me to places you think I should see and I would love to meet your friends!

What I Can Share with Hosts

I love to have deep conversations about all kinds of topics and share adventure stories.
I can cook for you, or make you breakfast, I could give you advice on how to eat/cook vegan if you are interested.
We could hitchhike together!
And just have FUN! :)
