CURRENT MISSION

Never Try, Never Know. ENJOY LIFE GUYS, travel, study, have fun :)

ABOUT ME

Hey!
Well... my name is Amanda Verpoorte, and I´m 23. How boring is that? Well I was travelling around the world with a broken foot and two lovely crutches until beginning of march 2012, how about that ?
I´m half swiss half dutch (but except for the hair I´m more swiss than dutch and unfortunately do not speak dutch at all!), I lived in switzerland almost my whole life untill I decided I need to leave my little CH for a big city - LONDON - and to travel around the world (with a cast, obviously). Yes I´m crazy about travelling.
Otherwise.... mmmh I graduated as an Engineer in October 2012 and I´m starting a PhD in summer 2012.

And.... ### NEVER TRY NEVER KNOW ### is my dogma (yes, absolutely, very deep thoughts).

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I started couch surfing in South America mostly because hostels were so expensive and I became addicted!!! we always meet AWESOME people that we would not be able to meet in hostel (in hostels there is only backpackers - tourists meeting other tourists). Each experience has been different but only positive!

Interests

Travelling, travelling, travelling, euh running, bioengineering, skiing. Yes, all that.
