ABOUT ME

Curious, dynamic, investigative, un-domesticable, free, engaging, passionate, empathic.

PHILOSOPHY

"Each individual person is very important. Each person has tremendous potential. She or he alone can influence the lives of others within the communities, nations, within and beyond her or his own time. Each of us has much more hidden inside than we have had chance to explore. It is solely up to us to decide where we want to go. We are the navigators and the pilots of this planet." M. Yunus

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I haven't officially surfed or hosted in years now, as I lately tended to have little more control over my connections. I however loved the open possibility to experiences that CS allows.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

First couch surfed: Kim's (2007)! Five nights in her cute flat in Leiden (NL) with her and her cat's precious company. SO lovely! Many couches surfed and offered after that initiation.
