Walking the Via de la Plata in Sept/Oct 2016...

I'm a relaxed, independent, quiet person. Love to dance (latin) and have a drink (try all the local rum), but don't travel to party. Also like to read, watch a movie, or sleep early (boring...).
Biologist, vegetarian, love animals, nature, going out for a walk. Want to learn as much as possible about the history and culture of places I visit. Love to discover...

And I'm Dutch, so yes I'm tall ;), and I own two bicycles.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I travel quite a lot, and like this way of meeting different people around the world and learn more about a country.

Please do not consider this a dating site. I will look for you on Tinder if that is what I'm interested in ;)

Interests

Dancing, nature, history, philosophy and definitely exploring. Tell me where the old people go to dance, that are usually the places I like ;)

Music, Movies, and Books

Genesis, Microcosmos, arthouse movies, pirate books, biografies, history, philosophy, latin music (with a clear preference for bachata)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Visiting the Galapagos Islands. I didn't plan to go but I did, and it was wonderful, the best two weeks of my life. Be a chimp-mom. Work in the Amazon. That's three, sorry.

Teach, Learn, Share

Practice the subjuntivo in spanish! ;)

I could teach you Dutch? ;) I'm sure that is something you would love to learn. In my city I can show some beautiful nature, places to visit and of course the veggie places to eat.
I could also bore you with my research on Neanderthals in science and fiction.
