About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Try to set up my business, decorate my new home and keep on travelling

ABOUT ME

After travelling Australia for 1,5 years I'm back in Holland and ready to host people in my new house!

PHILOSOPHY

Een dag niet gelachen is een dag niet geleefd! Translation: If you didn't laugh today, you didn't live today.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

By showing people around, drinking a coffee or a beer and try to find people a sleeping place if I can't host myself.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

My couchsurf experiences are great so far! I really love to travel like this and meet local people. It's so much fun to share stories and talk about the similarities and differences in countries.
I've hosted a couple of times now and those were great experiences as well. It's so much fun to meet travellers, eventhough I'm not travelling myself...
