About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Explore the world and meet new people, learn about other cultures

ABOUT ME

I'm easy going, open minded and love to meet new people. I like to party, relax, eat chocolate, drink beer, go to (film/theater/music) festivals, explore new things, go to the cinema, the park for a picnic or some beers/wine and I like to stroll around a bit. Actually, I like a lot of things :)

I grew up in a small village right between the cities Utrecht and Amsterdam. (both 20 minutes away by train) I lived in Utrecht for a couple of years while studying and I really love this city (maybe even better than Amsterdam) But it was time for something new so I decided to move to Amsterdam! I lived in Amsterdam for a few years but I'll be moving to Arnhem (a city in the east) in 2016.

PHILOSOPHY

My all time favorite poem:

Fall in love or fall in hate.
Get inspired or be depressed.
Ace the test or flunk a class.
Make babies or make art.
Speak the truth or lie and cheat.
Dance on tables or sit in the corner.
Life is divine chaos. Embrace it.
Forgive youself. Breathe.
And enjoy the ride.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'm a member since 2008 but didn't really use it that much.
Since I travelled through Latin America I became a more active member. Now I try to host people whenever I can or show people my city or my country. Wherever they wanna go (as long as I have money). I like to take people to different events or festivals that take place, or just for a drink and hang around a bit.

I would love to show you around in Amsterdam and take you to 1 of my favorite cities (especially during the summer), Utrecht!
You can't say you've seen Holland if you just stayed in Amsterdam!
