ABOUT ME

I am an easygoing but polite and thoughtful person and always want to help others before myself. I love to meet people and try new things. :)

PHILOSOPHY

I think you should seek the positive in others.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

As of now, I have participated in the CouchSurf Project by surfing with people. I would love to host people, so that I can get to meet and make new friends, learn about their country, culture and to see to that my guests have a pleasant stay, for that to happen I need to finish moving to my new apartment :)

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I am new to Couchsufing and hope to gain a lot of great experiences, learn something about myself along the way and meet new people and friends!

Interests

I am studying Social legal services at the High School of Utrecht, Netherlands and am working for the municipality The Hague (Den Haag) as consultant for debt counseling.

I like to hang out with friends, snowboard in an indoor-hall (sadly, no snow or mountains here) and listen to all kinds of music.

What I wish to accomplish is to discover and experience places and habits of countries that you normally would not encounter.

• culture
• books
• traveling
• socializing
• music
• surfing
• snowboarding
• law
• mountains

Teach, Learn, Share

Some things I may be able to offer:
I may help with the English or even Dutch language, I am quite good with computers and want to teach snowboarding to whoever wants to learn. :)

What I want to learn:
- Ins-and-outs of the country you live in (does and don't, labels and manners of specific places and such).
- Nice places you don't find in travel books.
- Cuisines from your country.
- Language of your country
