Hi :)
I'm a 21-year-old student from Germany currently living in The Hague, The Netherlands. I love to spend time outside, especially in the forest and at the sea, discovering The Hague and its surroundings with my bike! Apart from studying international law, I spend my time meeting up and going out with friends, cooking, going for walks and coffee, talking for hours over a bottle of wine, enjoying the beach, the sea and the sun and reading in one of the many parks, going to museums and art galleries, strolling around flea and food markets, or going bouldering.
I use any opportunity to learn from and about other people, their lives, their philosophy, and their cultural background at late-night talks or sunset walks :)

Besides, I love to travel, so far mainly within Europe and in Canada. During the winter months I’ve been in Québec, Montréal and Ottawa and over the summer I’ve been travelling the west (BC and Alberta :)) where I had an amazing couchsurfing experience!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I've heard from a few friends now that they really enjoy couchsurfing when discovering new cities. I finally decided that I wanted to try it out as well and am really excited to get to know new places and the people I stay with, but also to open my home for travelers wanting to come to The Hague

I speak more or less 4 languages including German, English, Italian and French - so always happy to teach you any one of them. I also love to spend time outside, do or try any sports activites - from kayaking, to climbing, surfing, paragliding, mountainbiking and more - and share my favorite books and artists!
