ABOUT ME

Some words to describe me: easy going, fun, explorer, curious, active, always in the mood to go out and meet people. Friends would describe me as caring, trustworthy and that I can't sit still!

PHILOSOPHY

You can only regret the things you don't do! (Ok, it's not mine but I do live by it)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

CS gives me the oppurtunity to meet other people, to learn about the world and show my lovely little country. My home town has the biggest windmill in the world!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Surfing: Fun, interesting and hungry for more, more, more. While traveling SE Asia and Australia with my husband (Auke) we did as much surfing as we could. Check our website for photo's and other things: http://dekoningdebaas.nl/Onze_wereldreis/Info_English.html
Auke's profile can be found here: http://www.couchsurfing.org/people/auke1981

Hosting: I don't live in the big city but very near to Rotterdam. This fact seems to stop surfers. But I loved the few that did choose to stay with me.

Interests

Traveling/exploring/discovering would be on top of the list. Second other countries (and my own) again. Off course I have sincere interest in my friends and family as well. They make it all worth!

Music, Movies, and Books

I sing a long with various artists (and I can't sing). My player contains ao Robbie Williams, Snow Patrol and a lot of Dutch music. I watch series that all girls watch. My movie choice would be drama or action. I love animated movies as well. But lame comedies don't do it for me. Travelling guides, easy reading but also true stories will keep me reading.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Only one? ... ... ... Wow, a lot of things cross my mind now: diving in Malaysia, bungee jumping in South Africa, living in Hong Kong, enjoying Beijing Olympics 2008. I'm going to think about this one ...

Teach, Learn, Share

The biggest exchange for me is sharing stories, experiences about traveling and life in general. And I love to learn and show local customs, food or special places.
