About Me

Please read my profile guys :)

I believe that traveling is the best education one can have. It teaches you about the culture behind stereotypes. It opens your eyes and makes you appreciate. Appreciate beauty, diversity, love, nature and life. It broaden your perspective. It enriches your mind and strengthen your personality.

For me, I'd rather backpack with no plans and immerse myself in a totally different experience. Traveling as a tourist seeking attractions is not my style. I travel for to make memories, nice stories, and awesome experience.

PHILOSOPHY

Couchsurfing is not about finding a free accommodation! but it is about meeting people, travelers and locals, widen your horizon, change your point of view and experience a new custom.

Take the risk, regret nothing, live the experience and learn from it.

ABOUT ME

Currently, I work as an IT consultant. Prior to that, I studied an International Master's programme in Information Technology and Managment. This programme is a part of Erasmus Mundus/Erasmus+. I studied my first semester in Germany, Stuttgart then I moved to an extremely different experience in the beautiful island Crete , Greece. After that, I finished my third semester in The Netherlands at Tilburg University. I fell in love with Amsterdam and found a job here.

I am a social person who likes to meet people from different backgrounds and cultures to exchange values and learn about customs and cultures. I am always up for deep conversations as well as a crazy party. I like to enjoy every single minute in my life. I like to experience new things. I am so open minded, risk taker, dreamer and an entrepreneur. I love music and festivals (No commercial music). Also, I like dancing and I had some Salsa and Batchata classes. Finally, I love languages and currently I am learning Dutch, French and German.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing
