About Me

CURRENT MISSION

to travel the world and meet all kinds of interesting people as soon as possible

ABOUT ME

Hey guys,I'm a 20-year old girl living in Holland who loves to travel!I went to South Africa by myself for two months a year ago and discovered traveling is what I like doing most. I hosted a bunch of people so far and surfed 3 couches in the UK, one in Copenhagen and met up with a CSer in India. I want to travel the world and I'm going as soon as I have enough money. (and okay, maybe after I finish my education.) I want to surf couches as much as possible, not because it saves money, but because like meeting new people and making new friends.I'm also a geocacher, if you know what the hell it is!

PHILOSOPHY

I have a tattoo on my arm saying "this too shall pass" and that's my philosophy. I try to enjoy life as much as possible, because it might be over before you know it. I recently stopped dreaming about things and started doing them. and I love it this way.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've seen many amazing things. the beauty of nature. A smile on the face of a kid that probably never smiled before. people sharing things and helping eachother even though they barely have anything to share. people that live without any luxury but who are so happy, because they know love. But I still want to see many, many more amazing things.
