Hi, I'm Anna an 18 year-old Dutch girl who's taking a break from school to work, travel and pursue hobbies I never had time for for a year. My travel destinations aren't determined yet, but I'm thinking about south-east Asia and Eastern-Europe. I love meeting new people and exploring cities day and night.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Meeting new people and engaging contact brings me happiness. The difference between the happiness I perceive winning a debate and meeting someone new is that the second type can last as long as the relationship stands, while the first type is over the moment your initial euphoric reaction to the victory passes. These are the two things in live I love most. As you have probably noticed, one of them wins the game of 'profound happiness' by far.

Interests

I have a broad variety of interests which sometimes don't seem to fit in with eachother. Clubbing Anna is different from science Anna, but they are both very much me.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

This summer I travelled through Europe on my own for a month. My route wasn't planned beforehand so I ended up going to Berlin, Budapest, Zagreb and Florence and ended up meeting a lot of new people and having many adventures.
