CURRENT MISSION

See and experience the world

ABOUT ME

I was born in the Netherlands, but moved to Ghana at the age of 13. I ended up doing my high school in Africa, after which I moved back to the Netherlands for university. At the moment, I live in Brussels. I love this town: There are people from all over the world, the Belgians are the friendliest "hosts" and the fries and beer are just a bit more amazing than anywhere else. You should come visit!

Personally, I love travelling and having new experiences more than anything else. I travel a lot with my job to Africa doing economic development projects, but I also love travelling just to meet new people and see new places. My two biggest hobbies are scuba diving and mountaineering. This way, I get to see even more of the globe!

PHILOSOPHY

Live life loving others!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Most often, I am travelling and away, so I will be looking for places to surf. But when I am in Brussels, I would love to meet up and offer you a place!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Just created this profile myself but I have couchsurfed quite a bit with my friends already. I always had amazing experiences. It is amazing to see how people take out time for total strangers.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can def teach the little and unknown language of Dutch to you :) Otherwise, I also have a lot of experience in economic development so we could have some nice discussions on that. And perhaps we could do some scuba diving together if we are in a warm location. I am open to learn anything whatsoever!
