About Me

Hey :D
In short: very social, passionatly curious and eager to get to know new cultures and people.

I do belive actions are more telling then words, so first some some of the stuff i did/do:
-I live abroad and still go home every month because i love my family.
-I was a volentier fire-fighter for most of my life, because i like to do "good" things (whatever that might be...)
-I am part of a debating-society and also go to international tournaments: Why? 1. I love informed discussions and 2. i love traveling. Plus the people ther are amazing :D
-I study psychology because i hope to help humans in leading a better life (pretty vage statemend, true. But i moved to the NL for that, so at least appreciate the dedication pls ;) )

So some words to my interest then: I soke up knowledge like a sponge: History/Politics, Architecture, Engineering or Art. Love all of it :D
Some people called me a social camelion, as in I blend in and get along with people from all walks of life.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

There is no better way to get to know a city, then from the couch of a local!
The inter-human experiences and the knowledge-exchange with the host(s) are so much better for getting to know a spot on this beautyful earth then any other way of staying somewhere :D
And spending some money on a sincer present it is better for my budget then renting a hostel and because of that i can travel more :)

I do not host people as often as i get hosted, due to the simple fact that the city i live in (Tilburg, NL) is not to exciting.
But if you need to stay here for some reason, hit me up :)
