About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Travel, learn languages, learn how to cook traditional dishes from around the world and spend time with wonderful people!

ABOUT ME

Fun, outgoing and spirited

PHILOSOPHY

I have no religion, but am not averse to religions. I'm very interested in Buddhism, Taoism and love to hear about the more unknown life philosophies. For myself, however, I just try to take life as it comes and not to worry but enjoy myself.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Music, Movies, and Books

I love animated movies, but watch nearly anything except for horror movies which will keep me up at night :) I enjoy all music, I can go from Mozart to Dr. Dre in three minutes and enjoy all of it.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

One amazing thing I've done in my lifetime is leave everything behind and move to Australia after getting stuck in my life without any idea on what to do, but more importantly who I was and wanted to be. Traveling helped me find my goals in life and taught me to take every day as a new adventure and enjoy it as much as I can.

Teach, Learn, Share

I love to learn: Languages || Cooking traditional food from all regions of the world || Anything on philosophy

I love to teach and share: What I know of languages || Dutch culture and heritage || Recipes from around the world
