Overview
About Me
Born and raised in the Netherlands but my family comes from the beautiful island Curaçao ( it is also a drink if you already might have heard of it )
I have been living in Brussels for 4 years now and time reply flies. I am working in Finance but my true passions are dance, yoga and helping others.
I am an energetic, passionate, sociable and also easy going person. Very curious and interested in other people's culture, countries opinions and experiences.
I am a yogi, vegetarian and a dancer. I love to dance salsa and other latin dances and I travel a lot to international festivals and meet other dance lovers like myself to share some beautiful moments on the dance floor. Since 2017 I have started again with contemporary and other dances to broaden my horizon.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
The last few years I have traveled a lot and met great people, who have become good friends. And now I would like to have the opportunity to host and show people the beautiful, international city I live in :).
Travelling in South America has been on my mind for quite some time and maybe by meeting couch surfers I will get the courage to leave everything behind and start the journey...
Interests
Yoga, dance, reading, any type of sport, except the ones you need wheels/ ice skates under your feet.
And I love to spend time in the kitchen mixing up ingredients and preparing a nice dish. That's when I get into meditation and let my creativity flow.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
I think it would not be faire to chose only one amazing thing since I think that most of my travels, activities that I have done have been an amazing experience.
One that I can highlight is that I went hiking in the mountains in Poland. Coming from a country that is totally flat, it was a real challenge but I enjoyed if very much.
Teach, Learn, Share
I am a very open minded but mostly open hearted person... I love to learn from others and share what I know. :)
What I Can Share with Hosts
I can cook a very good vegetarian/ vegan meal with you. I have been cooking since the age of 12 so I still know some nice recipes with meat to share as well.
I am slowly starting with teaching yoga and pilates. A meditation sequence, yoga class or core workout is definitely something I can share with surfers if they feel like doing something like this.
Dancing is my passion and I love to take any opportunity to share that with others.
Other then the above I can most of all share my passion for traveling and just having a good time by going with the flow.
