About Me

I am an open-minded, flexible, and adventurous outdoor person. I enjoy being in nature and exploring new places. As long as I am outside and out of my comfort zone, I feel alive!
Moreover, I am a follower of Jesus. I am also curious to learn more about other religions.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To explore new places through the lens of the locals. That gives me more satisfaction of travelling. I feel more grounded when I stay with a local.

In the future, I want to be a host for couchsurfers, but now I live with my parents, so it's not possible yet.

I hope that you can be compassionate with me and give me an opportunity to try out couchsurfing!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Volunteering in Cambodia for three weeks. It really changed my worldview and the values attached to it.

Teach, Learn, Share

Teach: I have experience with teaching in school, so that's definitely one of my skills. I could teach you how to improve your running form or overall stamina, because I have 12 years of experience in the sport Track and Field.

Learn: I'd love to learn Spanish since I want to travel to South America this year!!

Share: I love hearing about your travels, and sharing my travel experiences with you!
I always get super excited about that :)

Soft skills: a helpful gesture, meaningful conversations, good at structuring and organizing things/places.

Hard skills: carpentry, welding, gardening, using the chainsaw/axe to cut wood, farming (both animals and plants)
