Hey everybody,

I'm Birgit and am living in the southern of the Netherlands right now, around 20 minutes cycling from the coast, because of the university, Roosevelt, where I now study Philosophy, Anthropology and Human Geography. I love the atmosphere here, it is the most free and wonderful place I've ever lived so far, and that's mostly due to the people here.

Warum ich bei Couchsurfing bin

I think this platform is a great opportunity to connect me with people from all over the world, where my future travels will (hopefully) bring me.

long nights, crazy days, dancing the night away, festivals, love, happiness, nature, hiking, beaches, lakes, waterfalls, beauty in people, watching the starry skies

Interessen

Books
Travelling (preferably with a backpack on my back). Having long and deep conversations with people, about philosophy, environmentalism, the other person's interests and passions. Comfortable silences. Walking around cities and going into random shops. Random trips to nowhere.

Eine tolle Erfahrung, die ich gemacht habe
