Hello there! I am Rhonda, a positive happy person. 😁 I used to work as a drama teacher in the UAE but quit my job a few months back to go see more of the world and do volunteer work. I have to mention that I am obsessed with mayonnaise. It might have to do with the yellow spickles mcdonalds mayo I grew up with in The Netherlands 😜 I usually travel with it! Besides the mayo additction I am also very relaxed and easy going and always up for something fun!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am a super social person and love to meet all kinds of different people from different countries. I know it sounds a bit cliché, but it was the main reason I left The Netherlands 7 years ago to go live overseas and its also why I want to keep moving around: the world and all the different people are awesome! I always find that if you go on holiday you don't really experience a country or culture the way you do when you live there and if I'm just visiting a country couch surfing would be the closest I would get to that !

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

A trip through Africa where I also stayed with a tribe on some remote island for a week; it was awesome!

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you the UAE anthem if you want haha but otherwise i could teach you some fun Dutch words or bake you a boterkoek! I could share with you my travel stories and African or Arabic cultural experiences and would love to learn how to play music, cook some nice local dish or learn how to play cards because I always seem to forget 🙈
