CURRENT MISSION -

Live instead of earn a living

ABOUT ME

Quirky, kind, creative, caring, at the least I think I'm funny.

PHILOSOPHY

Happiness is the way not the goal, you reap what you sow, don't do to others what you don't want to have done to yourself. Basically, it's nice to be nice.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I really like all the different ways this community is being used. To find a guide, to meet new people in your home town through events, short stays, long stays. My experience is one of freedom and communication.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Going to Paris for one day on a whim was quite amazing. With a friend in a touring car having fun because of the company I was in and the journey not the destination. Then hitch hiking back the next day. Spontaneous, good fun!

And skydiving even though I am afraid of heights. Yes, I passed out and vomited whilst passed out. But, I did it....Never againnnn :')

Teach, Learn, Share

Share/Teach: My views, The start and development of some kick-ass cooking skills. And English or Dutch as I'm a teacher.
Learn: What do you want to pass on? I have a few blank pages left.

What I Can Share with Hosts

A warm welcome, good food and all the help needed I'll give. My love for the world and nights or days out, a tour through town. Laughs and musings.
