ABOUT ME

Embracing experiences and friendships on the way, I am confident you'll find the answer in my references... or better, when we meet up!

PHILOSOPHY

Each religion or philosophy is just another path to the same goal. Respect that different people need to walk their own, different paths!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Having provided my couch before, I present my ever-lasting smile on any occasion, sometimes organizing CS-events as well. Although not yet settled for it, if you read this and are looking for a couch in Nijmegen give it a try ;-)

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Having embraced my first couchsurfing experience in Austin back in December 2010, I am even more overconvinced of the unlimited excellent possibilities to discover we are basically friends all over the world... only don`t know it yet. After my couchsurfing experiences in Mexico, Guatemala, Honduras, El Salvador, Nicaragua, Costa Rica, Panama, Colombia, Ecuador, Perú, Bolivia, Paraguay and Brazil, I am sure negative experiences are almost impossible!
