CURRENT MISSION

To learn as many languages as possible

ABOUT ME

I love (learning) languages, and currently speak Dutch (mother tongue), English, French, German, Swedish, Portuguese and Hungarian to some extent but would love to speak more. I can say "habitación con ducha" In Spanish.

PHILOSOPHY

“He says, you have to study and learn so that you can make up your own mind about history and everything else but you can’t make up an empty mind. Stock your mind, stock your mind. You might be poor, your shoes might be broken, but your mind is a palace.”
― Frank McCourt, Angela's Ashes

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I host, I travel. I went to my first CS meeting in Dublin in October '16 and it was great!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

When I was on Erasmus in Budapest, Hungary, I learned more about couch surfing because my flatmates used it. We hosted some people too, and the experience was always positive.
