Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
Travel as much as possible while having a fulltime job.
ABOUT ME
I'm a girl who grew up in a small village but I always felt like I wanted something more. That's why I started travelling. First with an organization to explore and find out if it was something I liked. After that I started backpacking and looking for jobs abroad. At the time I finished my study I found a job in South Africa as a technical helpdesk agent. Unfortunately it didn't work out well and I could only stay for 5 months because of the work permit which couldn't be arranged.
After 2 months of looking I found something I could apply on in Dublin. It took a view calls and a visit to Dublin (which I really enjoyed)but I got the job. Dublin is a lovely city and I enjoyed living there so much! But the job took all my spare time and that wasn't something I was looking for.
Now I'm living in Eindhoven.. And I'm very surprised I like it this much. Who knows where my journey will start and end again.
PHILOSOPHY
Drink beer. Dance Crazy. Banana.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
I can be a bit quiet in the beginning, but I love to talk and once I get to know you, I will show my crazy side.
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
I don't have a couchsurfing experience yet unfortunately. Most of the times I stay in hostels but I think this is a great way to meet new people.
Interests
I love travelling. What a surprise! I like to get to know new cultures and explore new places. When I'm travelling I always write about it. Besides that I love to write poems and short stories. Photography can be added to the list, but I need to get a new camera.

Music, Movies, and Books
I have too many movies and books I like. But most of them are thrillers or horrors with a psychologic story.
The music I love is very different. I listen to rock, pop, house, d&b, techno, metal, folk. I like to discover new bands and dj's.
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
In 2011 I went to India. I'm not easily surprised or shocked, but at that time I was. India really has two faces. Some places are really disgusting and the people who live there are so poor that they can't afford anything. Not even shoes or a place to live. But some other places, like the Taj Mahal, Palace of the Winds and Ghandi memorial are so beautiful! But after all the country is colourfull and the people are friendly most of the times.
I also enjoyed living in Johannesburg. Met so many great people and the people there are so friendly, you can't imagine. I'm really happy I got the opportunity to live there and do a lot of amazing stuff.
And Dublin.. Yeah, lots of Guinness I can tell.
Teach, Learn, Share
I want to learn, explore and get to know more cultures.
What I Can Share with Hosts
My love for special beers, writing/reading, but also my talent in getting lost everywhere. Even in my own city.
