Hi! My name is Bernadette, I'm 19 years old and I live in a beautiful but small town near Groningen in The Netherlands.

Traveling is my biggest pasion. I'm taking a gap year this year to backpack through South East-Asia and Australia.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm especially on CS to meet new people from all over the world. I aspire to have a friend in every country and travel the world someday! I'm excited to start surfing once I leave for travel at the end of next year and who knows maybe even host someday - that is if I'd ever settle down for a home - "Home is where my suitcase is"

Interests

I love meeting new people, hearing about their stories and learning about different cultures. Discovering and exploring beautiful places is also one of my favorite things to do. I also enjoy spending my time watching movies, reading books, listening to some music and doing make up.

Teach, Learn, Share

I am interested in hearing about other people's stories and would love to share mine.

I'm also very eager to learn new things every day. Would love to learn foreign languages! I could teach you some Dutch of you'd like.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I'm a very caring and respectful persoon. My aspiration is to share my journey with the people I meet during my stay. I would enjoy spending some time with you and actually getting to know each other. I can offer you my friendship and gratitude. ❤
