I am a music teacher (currently in grad school at Boston University, originally from the Netherlands), interested in research, language and in people. What I love about teaching is that it's that you get to watch people grow over time, and you get to be a part of it.

On Couchsurfing I hope to meet new people in new places. Besides teaching and music, I like running, sports in general, concerts/arts/theatre, language and coffee! As a guest I'm respectful of being in someone else's space. I'm not a loud person and I'm clean.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Go on a cross-country roadtrip in the U.S.

Teach, Learn, Share

We can play music together, and I can teach you Dutch. If you have any musical instruments at home, I'll play some music for and with you (or teach you).

What I Can Share with Hosts

Music, Dutch language, and things I bake (pancakes/chocolate chip cookies/banana bread).
