I am a spontaneously and outgoing person. Like to meet new people, places and cultures. Hobbies of mine are swimming, kitesurfing and ofcourse travelling.

Me and Jurjen (partner in crime) travelled a bit in 2016. We went to Colombia, Costa Rica, New York and some other cool places. We also worked on Aruba for four months. I worked as a kids swim-instructor and Jurjen worked as a kitesurf instructor.

Back in the Netherland Jurjen works as a legal advisor and me as a consultant, both for the local gouverment.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have couchsurfed for a few times, it was really exciting and a whole new experience. I really enjoyed to meet new people/cultures/habbits!

Interests

Besides travelling I love being in the water. I have done almost ten years of speed swimming (sport). And in 2016 year I learned to kitesurf!

Furthermore I love my study: gerontology. I see ageing as a challenge instead of a 'problem'.

Music, Movies, and Books

I really love (drama-) movies with a deeper story into it. Guilty pleasure: I also love sing-a-long movies like Grease!
