About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Discovering Europe and meeting friendly people.

ABOUT ME

I'm a happy, cheerful person, enjoying new experiences. My job is to participate in educationplans for children with special educational needs.
I have a son from 20 years old. He's a very cheerful, happy, polite, nice and sportive boy. My son and I travel together sometimes. Besides travelling with my son, I travel with my husband, a friend or on my own.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Meeting people abroad and in my hometown Groningen

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Have been using CS a lot since I signed in in 2012. I've surfed and hosted, but now I use CS just for meeting people for diner, coffee or a walkingtour.

Interests

I like a good conversation, hiking (in beautiful nature or a city), cycling, swimming, skiing, cooking (and eating), walking along the beach, reading, listening to music, sleeping (hate getting up early), having fun, listening and meeting nice, friendly, openminded people.
