I am a former student with a bachelor degree in Business Administration from the University of Amsterdam. Right now I am wandering around, northbound, on south american ground, currently in southern Chile/Argentina.

Tambien me defiendo en español!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am on couchsurfing to meet people and the way they are living. It is just not the same as staying in a hotel. It is the best way to experience a place, rather than visiting a place.

Interests

I like to hike and to take walks. I like to take photos when I am traveling that inspire people to visit the places I photographed. I also like to read books with a cup of warm tea on a winter day.

I love mountains of all shapes and sizes. They make me feel small and blow my mind. An ideal night would be to gaze at the stars among mountain peaks from my camp with some tea after a day of hiking. Perfect.

Wherever I am, I want to try the best local street foods and drinks. Food on the street as the locals do it is the best kind of food.

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm currently learning spanish while I am traveling in south america. I am interested in languages because trying to understand someones language creates a deeper connection, and I've learned that trying to speak the local language gets you in more interesting places I am always up for a language exchange! I am especially interested in local slang. Spanish is different in every country, and those differences are very cool and interesting!
