CURRENT MISSION

I am still planning to grow a pear tree.

ABOUT ME

The thing I find hardest in life is describing myself with obsolete-looking letters in a little box. But OK, here goes: I am a Dutch undergrad in a 'global challenges'-focused college, I was involved in the youth branch of the Dutch Greens and in my not-too-abundant spare time I like to relax with friends, read or play FIFA. If all goes well I'm going to move to Geneva in August to study there. So, moving beyond the cliches and little boxes, I am looking forward to meeting you :)

PHILOSOPHY

Live and let live. Absurdism.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

In 2011 I went couchsurfing in Argentina and Chile, which was a tremendous experience. Quite recently I was given a couch so I might host people in the future :).
