Hi there! 👋🏽 I’m Nina, a born and raised Dutchie.

It all started in April 2018 when I left Holland to start a new life in Australia. During my time in Australia I've been out and about, worked as an equine trainer and have seen different places. It has been such a good experience! I've met and travelled around the world a bit and met a lot of awesome other couchsurfers! All the amazing in-depth conversations has enriched me ginormously! After 3 years I got back on the road again, mainly traveling in Southern Africa. At this very moment I am living a slowmadic life in South-Eastern Asia, creating my own business while at the same time seeing beautiful nature, meeting beautiful people.

I like the simple living, living in the moment, taking it day by day, focusing on my happiness and tranquility. I am a slow budget (but with a bit of comfort 😉) traveler with a love for (trail)running and hiking in nature. During my travels I love to check out food places for vegan and/or Whole Foods.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I like to meet like minded travelers and locals, really get to know them, have in-depth conversations and visit places I'd never visit if I'd be in a town as a tourist. The hidden gems are the best!

I love every type of music with the right melody. I'm quite lyrical and like to singalong (be prepared if we end doing a little roadtrip). I like reading books or articles about neuroscientifical or healthy food stuff.

I can share my (travel)experiences, knowledge of outback Australia and neuropsychology, I'm quite talkative and I like good in-depth convo's. Im a social neat person and like to help another out where I can. I can share my humor, I hope you like it too ;)
