I love life! I get energy from enthusiastic & positive people, deep talks, mindfulness, sports, sun, beautiful places, exploring hidden gems, experimenting with cooking, and naturally.. eating! (plant-based food and I'm the happiest person on the planet with that decision. This does not mean at all that I judge those that do eat meat)

Grateful for everything and everyone around me (currently also working on a documentary on Gratitude as a personal project). In terms of work, I'm a digital marketeer by day yet docu maker, yoga teacher-in-the-making (done by June 2019) and certified nutritionist in plant based foods by passion.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Love exploring and meeting diverse yet like-minded people!

Coming trips: after almost 3 incredible years working at LinkedIn’s headquarters, I’m now on the road ‘learning & slow living’. Living around 1 month in each place with my Spanish always-smiling boyfriend while working online yet creating new connections in beautiful places in the world.

The Miracle Morning - Hal Elrod

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Studying in South-Africa and afterwards hitchhiking through SA, Lesotho, Zimbabwe, Zambia and Botswana.

MidBurn festival in Israel & AfrikaBurn in South-Africa. (PS. I prefer tea, water etc over alcohol! I’ve lost my wild hairs yet became far from boring, I hope to be able to say ;) )

Teach, Learn, Share

There are so many incredible individuals in the world with each their own story. There is this quote which holds "I fall in love a bit more with the world each time a person opens up to me". This saying fits how I stand in life. Keen to hear the story and thoughts of every person I meet along the way.

*When reaching out to me, please include 'Sunshine' so it's clear you've read my profile. This to decrease the bulk of inappropriate messages I'm receiving. Please big sorry in case I don’t reply (timely) but I do attempt to do so! :)

What I Can Share with Hosts

Travel stories, 300+ life questions I created and listed over the years, curiosity, love for healthy food (incl cooking) and sports, up for exploring, and soon i can teach yoga!
