I'm a Dutch-American girl, 22 years old. In short I always want to learn more about the world and the people living within it, and I really want to make a positive change in the world. That means I am ambitious, love travelling and meeting people with different backgrounds. I like to challenge people, almost as much as I like to be challenged, and would never say no to a deep discussion. But I also love just socializing without thinking too much about it, and acting a bit silly. I think it's important to not take yourself too seriously.

At the moment I am doing an internship with the United Nations Commission for International Trade Law in Vienna, which has been great! In September I will start a Tax Law Masters in Amsterdam.

I'm interested in most of life's experiences so if you are up for doing something I have not done before I will surely say yes!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I like meeting people - and I'm cheap ;) (not me, personally, but I think you get it). To be honest I have no Couchsurfing experience yet, but it might show me why I'm on here!
