CURRENT MISSION

Live life to the fullest! See places, meet people, be part of the world

ABOUT ME

Cheerful, easy-going, curious and collector of experiences. I like to get to know new people, especially if they're unusual. My favorite color is green.

PHILOSOPHY

Do things that you feel are meaningful, treat other people well, and enjoy yourself as much as possible; life's too short anyway, so better seize the day!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I have surfed with quite a few people, and have hosted a couple of times myself, something I really enjoyed. I also studied Couchsurfing for my Master's dissertation, which I have recently finished. Currently I'm not able to host, but I'm happy to meet up during weekends in or around Colchester!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I stayed with people in several places in the US a few years ago, had some interesting experiences and a lot of fun! Then I has a bit of a CS snooze, but in 2011 I became active again, and made some wonderful new friends.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Coming to England to study for a year has been an amazing experience so far!

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm trying to find out why and how people participate in Couchsurfing, how they come to trust each other, and how it affects their identity.Is Couchsurfing really this transnational and cosmopolitan community?I can teach you Dutch, like to cook for people, and am happy to share my opinions on just about anything.
