I'm a student living in Amsterdam, studying Neuroscience with a particular interest in understanding how we can better treat mental health disorders, especially addiction. Spent 4 months working at a consulting company so I could spend 4 months traveling and living in the USA and then spent a month volunteering in Lima, Peru teaching English to children. I am a strong believer that getting out of your comfort zone is the only way to learn and to evolve and that includes traveling and meeting people from different cultures and people whose reality is completely different to mine.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I have friends who have used Couchsurfing and told me amazing stories. It is a platform with a lot of potential in connecting like-minded people or even people that are completely different from each other in a fun way. It allows both the guest and the host to experience one of the things that I found most valuable, which is human interaction in a good environment. It is also a cheap way to travel
