CURRENT MISSION

Enjoy, learn!

ABOUT ME

After nearly five years abroad working as a dive instructor it's time to settle back in Holland, at least for a little while. In a former life a library-dwelling historian, loving the fish but missing the books. Crazy cat lady. Minimalist. Non smoker. I go to bed early and wake up early, I am a morning person. Don't worry though, I can be very quiet and let you sleep in.

Our house is pretty full at the moment and we don't have a spare bedroom so I can *maybe* accept your request, if you're not more than one person and unfortunately I can only host you for one or two nights for now. In the future perhaps for a bit longer!

PHILOSOPHY

"Think of your many years of procrastination: how the gods have repeatedly granted you further periods of grace, of which you have taken no advantage. It is time now to realise that your time has a limit set to it. Use it, then, to advance your enlightenment: or it will be gone and never in your power again. "- Marcus Aurelius

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I've used the hospitality of strangers many times during previous travels so it's time to return the favor!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Lived&worked in 4 different countries in 4 years. Recently finished a 6 month cycling trip from Iran to Spain.

Teach, Learn, Share

I love to swap books. I can teach you about diving, snorkelling or the ocean and can talk about it for hours. I can teach you basic crochet-skills but in other things I'm pretty useless.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Great stories - A listening ear - A meaningful discussion (all subjects are fair game) - Mediocre cooking skills - A smile and gratefullness!
