Hi! I am a cheerful and enthousiastic Dutch girl who likes to travel and to be amongst people. I have lived in several places in the Netherlands, traveled in several countries in Europe and I like to meet new people, since I am interested in their backgrounds and stories. In daily life I work with and for refugees.

Warum ich bei Couchsurfing bin

I came to know CS by a friend telling me about it. He was very enthousiastic about CS and has surfed and hosted several times. His stories made me want to try CS as well. My experiences till now are great!
