I am 19 years old, I live in the Netherlands and I finished high school last year. Currently I am doing a gapyear between uni and high school. So far, this year I have been interrailing through Europe for a month, I did an internship in Berlin for three months and I traveled south America for another three and a half months. In september I will start studying philosophy in Amsterdam.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

On my travels I have met so many great people it seems like traveling changes a person in a positive way. That's why I'd like to stay in touch with as many travelers as possible, even when I'm not traveling myself.

Interests

I like listening to music, reading, watching movies, making art, capoeira and off course traveling.

Music, Movies, and Books

Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance by Robert M. Persig

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I withdrew my application for a very prestigious new university in Amsterdam to do a gap-year. The scariest decission I ever made. However, I do not regret it, I am only half way through the year, but I already learned more than I would have at any university.

What I Can Share with Hosts

The unique experience of staying at a houseboat in clean swimable water only 40 minutes from the city centre of Amsterdam.
