ABOUT ME

After living in different places with diferent people from all over the world, I noticed to be called carring, fun, spontaneous and easy going. I can relate to that. I live my life the way it comes to me. I adjust to the situations and make the best out of it. Stressing doesn't help, so take it easy. I'm outgoing and love to undertake things, important is to take own responsbility in making it happen.

PHILOSOPHY

I have no idea why we are in this world, but you might as well make the best out of it. Enjoy what you do and what you do, do it with passion or devotion. Live your life the fullest.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I like to help people around and show them around if they are in my living area. Its nice to see new perspectives and views on life. Its fantastic to experience other cultures, traditions and habits. Its great to get to know new wisdoms.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

a friend of mine had couchsurfers ones in a while, I always enjoy meeting and having these people around. I couchsurfed in Norway in 2 different places where I felt so welcome and had good fun. Also in Portugal I had very good times with couchsurfers (hosts).

And finally it was my time, I had my first surfer (There are not a lot of visitors in Wageningen) which has been a very lovely experience. It was nice to be the host for a change and experience the other side. I was happy she felt welcome and that we could provide her with a warm temporary home (for a week).

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
