Once checking your overweight baggage at the airport for Emirates Airline and later serving chicken and beef on the Air New Zealand aircraft for a living. ✈️
Now living a less exciting 9-5 office life in the Netherlands but always looking for opportunities to jump out of my routine for an adventure. 🗺️
Would love to meet open-minded people along the journey to exchange stories and get inspired. The world sucks but we’re not gonna stop making our efforts to find the collective beauty in humanity. 💡

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I’m personally new to this but have heard great stories about couch-surfing for years. It’s such a loving concept and I hope to be part of the community to exchange our love for the world.

Interests

I enjoy travelling to see people living very different lives and appreciate how beautiful and diverse this world actually is. Food, language, arts and music are some of my entry points to learning about a new culture.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I was a tour guide in Tanzania for 2 months when I was 20. It was amazing to get paid to do luxurious safari trips and stay in gorgeous beach resorts in Zanzibar.

Teach, Learn, Share

I think I know a little bit more about China, Tanzania, Swahili and aviation than average people and I’ll be happy to share my knowledge and experience with you. Always happy to learn the most local way of living, exploring the food/culture and create connections.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Always happy to share my knowledge about China, Tanzania and many other stories along the journey. If we have time I’m also happy to cook some Chinese food for us cuz I love cooking.
