I'm Amber, originally Dutch, but been living in Belgium since my sixth.
I'm going to a theatreschool to become a technician. (sound, light, scenography). I've been travelling around the world with my parents since the day me and my brother were born. I'm really gratefull for that, they decided not to give their money to material stuff, but they used it to show us the world. That's the greatest gift i got during my 21 years stay on planet earth.

Since I'm older I travel a lot without them. Because i'm still studying i don't have that much money, so i always try to keep it low budget. During the year i save all my money to go on holidays in summer. That's whats keeping me fresh and focused on important things.

My favorite place i've been is South-Africa, I've been living there for six months when i finished highschool.

I now live in an Appartment close to the centre of Antwerp, but as soon as i finish school i'm going to buy a motorhome and going to live in that. The feeling of being 'stuck' in a piece of brick scares me. So I want to be flexible and free everyday, any time.

My parents took us a lot to Asia and America, and ofcourse some European countries. But now it's time to discover the secrets of Europe. Up Next: POLAND - Krakau. Looking so damn foward !

I don't have a facebook account, but feel free to add me on skype !

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love to get in touch with people,
it's easy if you need a stay and travelling alone, you'll have someone to talk to and to give you advice about the environment. This is the easiest way to get dropped in the culture.
