ABOUT ME

Hi,

I'm a easy going person who loves to travel and meet new people, I don't care where there form. Close from home, or the other side of the world!

Greetings, Leen

PHILOSOPHY

"The World is a book, and those who
do not travel read only a page."
- Saint Augustine -

"Certainly, travel is more than the seeing
of sights; it is a change that goes on,
deep and permanent, in the ideas of living."
- Miriam Beard -

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I was quite active on Couch Surfing during my studies and while I was living abroad. Now I'm working full time and so there is less travelling... However one thing stayed the same... I still like CS!

Music, Movies, and Books

Easygoing in music: love almost every kind! Most of the time I read thriller books or travel report... Always nice to see a movie, and once again, lots of different types are good for me!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

The traveling experiences that i had in the past were amazing. Exchange programs, host family's, couchsurfing... all great because you meet the locals and you learn so many things!

Teach, Learn, Share

While I was a student, I gave ski lessons, but now I don't have the time anymore... Currently i'm following cooking classes!
