ABOUT ME
NO COUCH AVAILABLE AT THE MOMENT! SORRY :-)
Live in Haarlem in a cornerhouse with a nice landscape in front of me. I used to have 2 great dogs, I saved him and his brother from the Turkish desert. Unfortunately, after 12 years together, they recently passed away. I love animals in general. Where I live is a beautiful area to walk.
I love to dance and go out once in a while and come home early mornings. We've got great danceparties and festivals here in Holland. I visit most outdoor festivals during the summer, so if you are in Holland and want to join me and my friends, you are more than welcome to come along.
I have been traveling to Australia&New Zealand for a year, and have been to many other countries aswell but I would like to see a lot more of the world.
I am a vegitarian and eat mostly organic food.I love to cook for surfers and spoil them :-).
In my spare time I am always busy with dogs. I walk other peoples dogs, I take care of abandonded dogs till they have a new owner, I train them, I am sort of a holiday destination for dogs if their owners need some spare time....dogs are just enriching my life!

PHILOSOPHY
I'm a very open person, like to have conversations about anything. I'm very caring, like to cook for people, want to become physically and spiritually stronger by reading and experiencing new things. Like to make long walks or go to the beach at full moon. I love being quiet and enjoying the peacefull area around me once in a while.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
Giving my hosts a healthy meal and a warm welcome. At least this is what a lot of them say about me. I love to make the time with me the best of their time in Holland. Show people around in the natural area, the dunes, the beach and all the nice places around Haarlem. Sometimes I even give my own bed away....it's all about sharing and taking care of each other...

Music, Movies, and Books
I like the non-commercial movies more than the most American stuff. Love to go to the movies or watch one at home. Like house music, trance, electro, techno, everything on the radio. Definitely don't like rock-r&b-music.
Like to read but never seem to find the time for it. Mostly when I'm traveling. Like to read about traveling, animals, nature, spirituality etc.
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
Last year I walked the Trailwalker, 100 km within 25 hours, to raise money for a schoolproject in Birma, via Oxfam Novib. It was fantastic! I never walked more then 10 km before I started this, but with some training you will definitely get there. My oppinion, if you have a goal, you can get there with your own spirit!
Have been a year to Australia and New Zealand to work, travel and enjoy everything. Could recommend it to everyone!
Travelled through Mexico, Costa Rica, Europe, Dominican Republic, Malaysia, Indonesia... climbed Mt. Kinabalu on Borneo, sat next to a wild orangutan...a dream came true!
