Hi there! My name is Anna, I am 25 years old and I currently live in the Netherlands. I've got a bachelor degree in Social Work and that's exactly what I'm doing now. I work in the social health care. Although I love my work, travelling is the thing that excits me most in life. It makes me feel rich, without filling my bankaccount. It makes me feel alive, like I'm on top of the world and it makes me feel a part of life on this earth, which we are all accountable for.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I explain this in "about me".

Interests

Where do I begin... I have so many interests! The main thing I like to do is play sports. I've been playing football for many years now but I also love to cycle, play beachvolleybal and I'm an ultimate frisbee fan. Besides sports there is one more thing that can make my day: music! My perfect night out is to visit concerts and festivals and discover new music. I'm also eager to meet new people and learn about their habits and background. The world has such a diverse population that I'll never be done learning about other cultures. CS for me is the perfect tool to satisfy my curiousity for the world and hunger for adventure!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

In March-April 2015 I went on a trip to South Africa. It was overall an amazing experience, but there’s one specific memory that i’ll carry with me for the rest of my life. Some of the locals that we’ve met invited me and my mates to stay with them in the delta in Botswana. By doing so we were able to experience the live of the locals from up close. We slept in the open air, went fishing from small wooden boats and they took us on a walking safari to spot some elephants. We got so close to them! I’m really thankful that they took us in and showed us all these wonderful things.
