CURRENT MISSION

This year is all about getting to know myself. I want to travel and meet/see new people and places.

ABOUT ME

I really like to read, dance, sing and cook. I also like to eat but since this year I don't eat meat anymore. I decided that it's better for the earth if people would reduce their daily meat intake and when I do something, I want to do it right: so I just decided to quit. I'm also politically active. I am a member of the Dutch labour movement and did an internship at the Dutch parliament. I'm particularly interested in international issues, environmental issues and immigration policy. I plead for more love and humanity.

I really enjoy cold weather (no rain) and then feeling the sun that warms you up. I also like people who laugh because there are pretty. And after my first travels alone, I found out that I like silence too. Riding a bus, looking out of the window and enjoy the complete silence (except the sounds of the motor).

PHILOSOPHY

J'ai decidé d'être heureuse parce que c'est bon pour la santé.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I try to let as many people sleep on my couch and guide them around Amsterdam. l'll do my best to make your stay as comfortable as can be. I just want you to feel like home!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have hosted people from all over the world and this year it's my turn. I want to travel and couchsurf myself.

Interests

I like to dance and sing. It doesn't really matter where; in a discotheque or just in my living room ;). I love the read, i like 9gag & reddit. I enjoy having dinner with a nice group of people, sleeping, longboarding and watching the sun go down in Amsterdam North, while I'm drinking a beer and the boats go by...

Music, Movies, and Books

When someone asks me what music I really like, it's hard for me to tell. It totally depends on my mood and the day you ask it. In general I do love old soul music; that makes me really happy. My mother is a musician so I basically grew up with music but soul has always been my favourite.

I really enjoy reading too but I don't take enough time for it. I usually read before bed. Currently I read a lot about history and politics. F.e: I'm now reading a book about the role of German nazi women.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Hitchhiking and hiking in the highlands of Scotland.

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm firstly on couch surfing to learn from others. I can teach you something too, like some words of my language (which I don't believe is very beautiful) and tell you about Amsterdam (one of my greatest loves).

I also like to learn from you. About your country and culture.

What I Can Share with Hosts

A warm house, bed, shower and friendship
