About Me

Mediation, Conflict Resolution facilitation, music and writing.

ABOUT ME
Currently living in Bogota. I am a good mix of things. Half Colombian half dutch. Lived in many places. It is difficult to classify me. I am very friendly but i also enjoy my privacy. I am sporty. I do yoga. I eat meat but not often. My senses are very sharp and yet I tend to only remember things that interests me. I am intelligent, sometimes a bit brainy but very intuitive. I am a bit of a day person unless i am having a great time. I like dancing and singing and spending time outdoors as much as i can. I like good sense of humour.

PHILOSOPHY

love oneself, take full responsibiity. learn to be softer, stay curious. laugh about myself. love everything without distinction.
stay grounded.
... lets say that is the plan.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I belonged to a community of frisbee players, so there was always a place to crash when traveling. Being a frisbee player was like a family mark. I am choosing to do other things now, but since i have lived in different places i appreciate the energy that a pilgrim brings. I have a spacious and beautiful apartment in chapinero alto, where I rent a couple of rooms. So, sometimes I have space available for passing by travelers.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
Little. I heard about it through a friend. I have always stayed at places where i know the people or are friends with a close friend.
I dont particularly like being a tourist. I enjoy observing people in their daily lives, and I am always excited about meeting new and interesting and fun people to exchange life and experiences.
