New on CS and impressed by the wonderful profiles from the surfers and hosts..

Well.. Let's give it a try!

I'm an 21-year-old Med-student and currently living in the beautiful Amsterdam. Despite the fact that I live in one of the most awesome cities of the world (as far as I consider of course), I will leave my hometown for at least 10 months to do my scientific internship in a foreign country. South Africa to be specific. I'm not going on my own, but I will have amazing company: my friend Lise.

I'm laidback, flexible and always open for a good conversation (still trying to find the meaning of life, haha). I love traveling, meet new people and discover as much cultures and countries as I can. Always eager to learn new stuff (next thing on my bucket list: kitesurfing!).
Oh.. And if you're looking for someone to go to a (music) festival or party with, here I am!

Furthermore I love to explore (secret, special) sights of a city, go on hikes, embracing nature and just get the feeling I LIVE.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm currently looking for a couch in Cape Town to sleep on for about a week. Couchsurfing seems like the best way to make new friends and discover a city at its best.
