About Me

I’m currently on a trip trying to reach Australia without taking any plane, with as starting point my home in the Netherlands. I hitchhiked my way through Europe and Turkey, and I’m in Georgia right now.

I think I am an easily adapting person. I'm good at just letting things happen, and taking everything in.
At this point in my life I am not yet sure what I want to do with the rest of it, and I am totally okay with that. I do hope that by travelling I will get to know a bit more about myself, as well as from the beautifully diverse people and places of this world.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I want to know what remains of me when all my comforts are dropped. I was never great at approaching people I did not yet know, but lately I've been trying to get better at that. I heard couchsurfing is a great way of getting to know amazing new people, while also experiencing what it is like to live like a local in the most amazing of places. I have always had the dream of traveling, and I did not want it to stay just a dream. Couchsurfing seems like a great way to combine these two goals.

I also think when all your comforts are dropped, you are more open to new opinions and views. It can be an extremely impactful time where I hope to learn a lot, from everyone I meet.

Music, Movies, and Books

Music:
Anything from psychedelic rock, to post punk, to trip hop, and everything in between!

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can clean, cook (just a bit), do the dishes, or help with anything else in and around the house.
I also really would not mind to pay for the things I ate, drank or used.

Outside of chores, I am always open for a good conversation.

I always have my own sleeping gear with me as well, so I don't mind sleeping on a floor or in a garden.
