Social, open, enthusiastic, positive and friendly woman. I have traveled in South America for 10 months and that made me connect with local people and travelers in a different way. I'm now back in the Netherlands for more than a year, finding my way in how I want to live my life, making money in a descent job, but also starting my own business to explore how I can guide people on their path to living a life in abundance and more freedom as how I did for myself.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love to be in connection with people, hear their life stories, see how they live and what values they have in life. I love traveIing, exploring new cultures and to have authentic local experiences when I'm away, so CS is the perfect way for that! First I was a bit scared in doing this, but now I love it.. I met such great people and I'm thankful for a community like this. I especially love to stay with families, children because I'm a family person!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Leaving my job and house to go traveling in South America!
Starting my own business out of my passion
Work as a cleaner in a multinational company and soon becoming an employee there
Sleeping in a crater of a vulcano! That was incredible...

Teach, Learn, Share

Many times I experience that people open up to me very quickly, that I gain their trust and they share their personal deep life stories with me. I'm always so grateful for these moments. They give me pure joy and a lot of love.. I share with them a different perspective, some insights and wisdom that I've learned along my own personal journey but mostly I share love, connection and positivity with people around me. So if you're in the need of this, just let me know ;) A good hug included!

I always love to speak Spanish and learn more, so if you speak Spanish, you make me even happier! Haha. I can always help with English & Dutch if you like.

Besides that I love cooking for you or share a true authentic experience here in Amsterdam with you. Propably on the bike as I love biking in this city!!
