ABOUT ME

Hello there! So, my name is Sari and I am just starting to couch surf :) Think it's a very great idea! On the 3rd of January I will joining a project in Brazil named Warriors Without Weapons. It is taking place in a favela in Santos. We will try to realize a dream of a community in cooperation with the locals. After I am planning to travel in Brazil/Colombia for a bit and looking for couches! Looking forward to meet you! Abrazos, Sari.

PHILOSOPHY

Be conscious, be idealistic but active in the same time! Be open-minded: don't judge directly, but first take a deep breath and think! Never forget to take care of the people close to you.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Unfortunately I am not right now able to host people in my small room in Amsterdam, but I am sure in future there will be place for some! I very much enjoy visiting a place by meeting the locals of a place and I would like to meet people too to show them Amsterdam from a different point of view! I am quite tired of spending time in hostals and meeting just other travelers, and couch-surfing is the perfect way to solve this problem :)

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have been couchsurfing before, not with my one account though, but together with a friend. It was always very nice, we used to cook dinners for the host, that was a good exchange. The host usually took us to different nice places in the city where otherwise you wouldn't come that easily. So, very positive!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

The Parque Nacional de los Alerces, in Argentina! Very pretty and nice place to stay for a while. Lot's of asado invitations, campfires and nice people around me. It's worth it!
