"Step 1: Wonder at something. Step 2: Invite others to wonder with you" - Austin Kleon

That pretty much defines how I approach life. Grew up in the Netherlands and am nationalist to the extent that I belief that more people should bike ;)

My favorite part of traveling is feeling connected to people. And what better place to do that than couchsurfing!
Being hosted in 11 countries and now also having the space to host myself :) It just keeps amazing me how amazing it is to both receive and give kindness from/to strangers.

While it defines only a part of me, I am an Artificial Intelligence specialist by education and I am currently applying this in the cultural sector. So many possibilities!

Huge love for discovering cultures and people. Far away and close to home.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Feeling connected with people I would otherwise never meet.🌍

Interests

I love randomness. So I have many different interests. My newest ones are pottery and growing veggies. I also love hunting the best chai lattes in town. I am happiest when surrounded by nature so camping and hiking should definitely also be here.
