Hey! Im a Dutch girl (1986) from Holland, who is a fulltime adventuress. I left my job as a criminal profiler in 2015 to be travelling fulltime and experiencing all sorts of amazing adventures. Two years I travelled on bicycle through Europe, Australia and Indonesia. 5 months I travelled the Altai mountains of Mongolia with a horse, camel and dog. I went on a 3 month expedition in the mountains of New-Zealand while I hunted and foraged all the food I ate. and I crossed 650km of Jordan desert with my donkey. Ive had many more adventures that Im happy to talk through over a drink, during a walk or whatever really. I enjoy every sort of activity and love meeting people, hearing about your experiences and dreams. Happy to share!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Im really sorry I dont have a home anymore to host people, but I still very much enjoy meeting people. I travel with my tent and usually dont need accomodation, that's not why Im on couchsurfing. Its about the social interactions, the submerging myself into someone's life, sharing, and the fantastic experiences it brings every time again :)
