Personal Description

I would describe myself as an idealistic, open minded and adventurous person who loves to laugh as well as to have a deep conversation.

How I Participate in CS

If I am back in the Netherlands I hope that I will be able to host people (first have to find a new place to live). Right now I am only surfing couches here...:)

Couchsurfing Experience

I don't have much Couchsurfing experience yet!

Interests

I study International Development Studies in Wageningen, the Netherlands. Just finished my exchange semester in Sao Paulo. When I finish my Bachelor, I would like to do a Master's Degree in International Relations.
I love to read, play piano, travel, meet new people and am interested in other cultures.

One Amazing Thing I've Seen or Done

Hmm...difficult to choose! Can I really pick only one? Well, I think my trekking in the Mustang area / Himalayas in Nepal was really special.

What do these numbers mean?

This summary is not a replacement for reading references; it's a quick summary to help you get started. At a glance, you can see how many references a member has, and how many of them are positive, neutral, and negative.

In the second line, you'll see how many references came from people who hosted this member, surfed with them, and traveled with them. These numbers won't always add up to the total: some references are not categorized, and some may be categorized as more than one thing.

When viewing this summary, don't jump to conclusions! Things that are negative for one person may be positive for another, and vice versa. It's important to read references carefully and evaluate what that information means to you.

I was lucky to spend the New Year's Eve with three fascinating Couchsurfers.
It started when my friend Daniel suggested me to register on CS because he was looking for interesting people to share this moment with us, as almost all of our friends were out of the town.
We were three Brazilians dudes + a French and a Dutch girl, drinking and talking all the time, trying to know each other and our cultural differences as much as possible .
We had a pleasant dinner, enjoyed the fireworks on the rooftop and then we went to a club.
Elise, Charlotte and Bruno made that night unforgettable and I hope to keep in touch whereas in Brazil or any other place in the world.
Thank you all

I met Elise in São Paulo , she is a amazing person and I was so lucky to meet her. We went out to sometimes to drink and to know interesting places. I showed some areas of São Paulo that she wanted to visit. We had great times together. Elise is a person really nice with whom you can joke, talk of everything, hang out, etc. She always smiles, always has good mood and she's very lively and makes me laugh a lot.
