About Me

CURRENT MISSION

stop using a fridge - store beers and veggies outside for winter time being

ABOUT ME

All about you is a tough question and I wouldn't even want to answer, and I don't even think thats blunt. I am on CouchSurfing because I like the surprise of meeting unexpected people and then finding out what you have or dont have in common, and just experience this as bliss exactly for what they are and nothing more. Also, it doesn't have to be forcefully 'gezellig' as we say in Dutch (look it up;) ) but an open attitude and respect is a must.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Surfing in Singapore and Australia
When I was surfing (through the CS website), my hosts had a lot of time for me. The first time I was lucky to be hosted in /singapore on the very first night of my very first travel alone. The second time was in Cairns-Australia on the night before my birthday. I am so inspired by these people, that were so open and generous to me in very different ways. I cannot promise that I will have this same amount of time and resources to show you around, but I would like to start hosting and see how it goes, learn form it, adjust etc.

Interests

Oceans and anything ocean related. I study biology and environmental science and am emotionally involved and try to set up projects, volunteer and such. But I also dance, do Wing Tjun Kung Fu, swim, and enjoy having a beer in the park. I enjoy working as well, currently I am employed at a stand on farmer markets and in a bar/restaurant. I am an optimistic open person that often has a plan to some extent, but really enjoys changing my plans for the unexpected (very strong when travelling)

Teach, Learn, Share

My lifestyle I think! i always find it amazing to stay at other peoples houses, see little practical adjustments, routines etc. I used to play the harp and have one in my apartment, but I only rarely have the discipline to practice, even though it is somehting I really want to do more. If you know to play harp, you have to come stay here! I also have the feeling exchanging food always is fun. I am also happy to practice Spanish, Greek, French or German. I am open for surprises, little chats. But It might just as well happen that I have no time at all and just be running in and out. But for me it is really important that there is some awareness, and curiosity to others.
