I'm Bente, 24, living in Leeuwarden (NL). I studied Popular Culture. At the moment I'm working freelance in music industry, as a music journalist, promotor and project manager. I also have a band, in which I sing and play bass guitar. Besides music, I love reading, art, watching movies and series, cooking, travelling, swimming and yoga.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I've been couchsurfing myself before in Scotland, England and France. I think it's a great way of travelling, getting to know local people and places, sharing stories and experiences, maybe even making new friends! Would be happy to host couchsurfers in Leeuwarden, but because my appartment is very small and not private at all, I won't host just anyone. Hope you understand!
