If I had to describe myself as kind of animal, then I would compare myself to a butterfly. You can use your imagination to fill in the gaps :)

I am of mixed origins, my mother is Chinese and my father is Dutch and Polish. I was raised in The Hague and in London. I then decided to move back to the Netherlands and study at Wageningen University.

I have many many interests. One of those interests lies in exploring and supporting restorative forms of agriculture; food forestry, permaculture and agroecological systems.

I also love to cook and, of course, to try taste different food cultures. I am lactose-intolerant to cow dairy, so I'll skip the butter and milk. Goat and sheep dairy are good though!

I often come across as a relaxed person who likes to take the time hear people out and enjoy the surroundings.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

This is a great way to socialize with nice people all over the world. I like learning about all the different cultural ways to live your life. Every couch surfer I have met so far are kind and genuine people, which I appreciate.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Living in Bhutan for four months. I was lucky to have the chance to visit temples, stupa's, monks and to learn about the Bhutanese way of life.

Teach, Learn, Share

With my positive attitude I can share my green mindset and my experiences from several years of climate engagement and campaigning. I can also share some concepts about food forestry and agriculture in general. Also, I like to take the time to enjoy the little things in life and share them with the people I am surrounded with.

What I Can Share with Hosts

A listening ear, a cook's hand, a helping hand and a friendly smile.
