About Me

A laid-back Dutchie who loves singing, longboarding, horse-riding and hanging out with like-minded people! Am currently studying at the Center for African Studies at the University of Copenhagen. After a year of living in Denmark, I moved back to the Hague (NL) for an internship and am currently continuing this internship in Kigali, Rwanda. I'll be here until spring 2018.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

The best way to get to know a place it through a person who lives there, in my opinion, though getting lost without a map is also a good alternative.

Interests

My interests are very broad and I can basically have a conversation about anything. Getting to know the person you are having the conversation with is particularly interesting, especially when travelling!

  • singing
  • modern art
  • traveling
  • theatre
  • longboarding

Music, Movies, and Books

Music: A mix of Indie, Disco, Soul and Funk. (Tallest Man on Earth, Parcels, Charles Bradley, Gwen McCrea, Otis Redding, Fleet Foxes)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I sang in front of 600 fellow students and got this amazing x-factor moment. Or that time I zip-lined through the Laotian mountains, or that time I went rafting in Norway, or that time..... Do I have to choose one moment?!
