About Me

CURRENT MISSION

The world consists of so many beautiful places, cultures and people and I would like to experience them all!

ABOUT ME

Energetic, open minded, impulsive, enthousiastic, positive, scipper, smile! Sleeping is overrated ;)

PHILOSOPHY

Life is full of challenges that I am happy to take with both my hands. Don't say you cannot do something unless you have really tried. Passion brings you anywhere.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I surfed some couches during my roadtrip through the US west coast with my sister and it was a great experience every single time. After this I have surfed some couches in several cities in Europe and back in Utrecht I met some couchsurfers for drinks and showed them the best parts of this beautiful city. Now that I moved to a new place I can finally offer my couch as well!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Awesome! Great way to meet intesting new people and the possibility to kind of experience of how locals live their lives!
