Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

im hoping to meet like minded, equally interesting people and help to add to the beauty of shared experiences with people all over the world. <3

Interests

Food, i can talk about food all day. I also like to eat it, make it, Photograph it., share it, talk about it again hahah. I loveeee reggae music especially the Rockers time, the style is flawless and thats where i draw most of my inspiration for my personal style.
I listen to music all day. I love to create, I paint, I draw, i make clothing, accessories and anything that takes my fancy.
I spend my time either making something, be it food, paintings. Chill at my favourite coffee place or a new interesting place ive discovered, go to new heights, listen to music, or socialise either home or at events.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

1) Traveling through the Simien Mountains in Ethiopia. And I was listening to Zwart licht like really loud on this bus with an utterly crazy driver. Never had a adreline high like that ever before.

2) When my little nephew was born. My sis lives in the states and I in amsterdam. So my mom had skype on her phone so i could be included the hospital room. . All the tears and the crazyness of this new life. very humbling.

Teach, Learn, Share

Things of course about Amsterdam.
Places to go, things to do, connecting to locals.
I can share food. maybe share some creative times.
For me I am just open to meet new people, learn from our encounters and help a traveler along.
