About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Explore. Learn. Share. Live and enjoy life :)

ABOUT ME

I'm originally from Holland, but I've been living and studying in Vancouver for the past three years. Whenever I can I travel to new places, South-East Asia being one of my fav destinations! I'm into photography, journalism, philosophical stuff, snowboarding, chilling at the beach and doing random things.

PHILOSOPHY

Most of the time, I have no idea what I'm doing. But like one my friends once said, "it's okay, life is beautiful!"

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Looking to get more involved on here! Currently have a couch available so surfers are welcome in Haarlem, which is only 15 minutes from Amsterdam.

Interests

I'm studying philosophy and political science - I like to think about stuff. I'm always up for a good discussion about life, meaning, or anything else really. Other than that, travelling has definitely changed my life, opening me up to so many different people and experiences... And there are still so many trips to make!

Other random things I like to do - Snowboarding, surfing (hoping to learn this summer!), chilling in the sun on that first warm day in spring and listening to good music, currently I'm totally into chillstep and the like :)

Music, Movies, and Books

Jonathan Livingston Seagull - best little book ever.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can offer some basic help in art or photography... Philosophical conversations, someone to go snowboarding with, that's all I can think of right now!

I really want to learn surfing and go mountain biking!
