I'm 21 years old and currently living in Tilburg, the Netherlands. I'm a biology student and I would like to teach in this subject when I'm finished with my bachelor. I have 2 cats, and although most people aren't allergic to them, please don't send me requests when you're allergic to pets.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I really love traveling and learning about other peoples' way of life and different cultures. So everyone is welcome! Please do respect my way of life, as I will do for yours.

Interests

I really love anything that involves being in the woods or anywhere else in nature. I enjoy long (and short) hikes and learning about native plants. I sometimes use some of the plants I collect on a walk to cook with. I also like to cook all kinds of dishes. I try to avoid all kinds of animal products when cooking, but don't worry: I don't mind if you eat meat.

I'm really interested in all kinds of sciences: mostly biology, chemistry, geography and physics. I try to read as many books about these subjects as I can. Furthermore, although I don't identify myself as a Buddhist, I'm really interested in Buddhism and love the philosophy behind it. I try to live without harming others and trying to help as much as I can. Sometimes I will do random acts of kindness.

I don't really do sports, but I do have longboards. When the weather is good, we can go for a ride if you'd like.

Last but definitely not least: I really enjoy listening to music. I used to play the guitar, but now I only play the ukulele. I like going out in the weekends, mostly I will go to techno clubs.

Music, Movies, and Books

I can appreciate almost any music style, and I would like it if you'd show me some music you really love! I mostly listen to rock, punk, metal, indie, folk, and music from the 60's - 90's. A selection of my favorite bands: Muse, Alt-J, Tame Impala, System of a Down, Beatles, Queen, The xx, Arctic Monkeys, Chet Faker, Daft Punk etc.

I have a lot of favorite books, but I really liked 'The hidden life of trees' and 'The Tibetan book of living and dying'.

I don't really watch TV, so I'm not sure if I have a favorite movie.
