Hi,

My name is Yalou, a 23 years old Dutchie. I'm a visual anthropologist and writer for We are the Earth. I'm into anything that has to do with sustainability, zero-waste, and photography.

Feel free to ask everything you want!

PHILOSOPHY

live your dreams with your eyes open

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Couchsurfing is a really nice way to get to know places like locals do. For 'just' a tourist that's impossible, but together with the new friends you make by Couchsurfing it goes naturally. I love the open-minded people here, all so different but yet all so the same.

I surfed in Morocco, Israël, Greece and London. (:
