Lived in Amsterdam for 48 years. In between lived in Greece and Cyprus for 3 years. Started out as a fashion designer where I did some work for a theater and had a small collection in a shop. Worked in ICT projects for 10 years. Started my own business in 2006 as a strategist for entrepeneurs.

1,5 years ago I sold everything I had to do some traveling and looked if I wanted to start my own business as a hiking guide in Gran Canaria. After a while I noticed I do not want any steady ground anymore, so now, closing to 50; I just want to travel and have a adventures live without knowing that much. Bought me a small camper, a Fiat Ducato, in which I live fulltime to experience a nomadic live.

For me my dog is the most important thing in the world, next to my freedom. So staying in places with people who love dogs would be great. He loves to travel and experience new people and things just as much as I do.

Have been doing Yoga for the past 14 years. Totaly obsessed with hiking.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Because I love to meet new people, feeling excited about other peoples lives. Love to have diners and great talks with the hosts. Have been a host in other ways myself and got addicted to the vibe, getting insides of other cultures and believes.
