Hi everyone!

I'm Anouk, 26 years old and I live in Amsterdam. I've studied Political Science at the university with a focus on change management in companies. I have always had a passion for animals and nature, and I would love to work in a environmental oriented organization in the future.

I also have a really artistic side: I play guitar, write and I can draw a bit. Furthermore I absolutely love comedy / cabaret! I've visited a lot of shows in the Netherlands and Germany and I'm always excited about discovering new comedians.

I'm very curious and love to try new things. This is the first time that I use Couchsurfing, so I'm really excited about how this works and who I'm going to meet! :-)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

The next few months my biggest dream will finally come true: I'm traveling through Italy, all the way from north to south! During my journey I would love to meet Italians & learn as much as I can about the people, the culture and the country :-)
