About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Discovering new places and meet interesting people

ABOUT ME

I`m a very optimistic girl who loves to make some jokes now and then. In my opinion you can do anything you want to do if you just want it enough. That`s something I`ve experienced already by running a half of a Marathon for example. I like to meet other people and to be in a new area, that`s why I thought couchsurfing could be something cool!

PHILOSOPHY

Happiness only real when shared.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

First I want to make a journey by myself, but I would like to share different parts of the journey with my couchsurfhosts. Ofcourse because happiness only is real when shared but also because I`m sure my host knows a lot more about a city than I do. As soon as I have my own living I would like to host surfers to my home.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Unfortunately I`ve no couchsurfing experience yet

Interests

I love to do lots different kinds of sports(hockey, volleybal, running), playing guitar and painting. I have a huge interest in all sorts of subjects and I like to be outside, for example I really enjoy making long walks on holiday in Austria through the mountains. Music is for me something magical, especially when it comes to Pearl jam. Besides I like the Doors, the Rolling Stones, the Who but also jazz-music is enjoyable.

Music, Movies, and Books

One movie was really special for me: Into the Wild. It let me see how you also can fill in your life and that a lot of things are already chosen for you. But still you can do whatever you want if you only want it enough.
I`ve read a dosen of Dutch literature for school and sometimes I enjoy reading, but I`ve not very much time to read..
I prefer listening or making music. One of my favourite bands is Pearl Jam. Besides I like the Doors, the Rolling Stones, Led Zeppelin, the Who but also jazz-music is enjoyable.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

One of the amazing things I`ve done was recently: In the Netherlands it`s sort of tradition that on the first day of a new year there is a newyearsdive in the sea. On the first of January 2014 I`ve participated and it was just so cool! (literaly)
