CURRENT MISSION

Step out of my comfort zone as often as possible!

PHILOSOPHY

Life begins at the end of your comfort zone

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

As a couch surfer I will not create difficulties. I am interested in other people and want to learn about their cultures/traditions. So an evening with me will contain many questions, laughing, social talk and good food/drinks!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I met the great CS group of Manila and I decided to become part of this community. I want to experience it myself during my backpacking trip in January - March 2013.

Interests

Every time I try to step out of my comfort zone. I try to challenge myself and others to make the most out of life. It depends per year what that concretely means. After graduation this year I went to Manila for an internship - first time in Asia and I love to life here. A backpacking trip on my own is coming up from Jan to March 2013. Living on the edge! ;)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
