Hey! My name is Daphne and I work as an engineer in a particle accelerator in Sweden. Sounds complicated? No worries, I don't know what I'm doing half the time!

Currently taking a break from my job to travel to New Zealand. I'm excited to be on a longer trip again and to meet new amazing people!

Traveled in Europe and I've done several roadtrips in North America, as well as (almost) a complete lap around Australia. Lived in Japan for half a year. Always looking for new adventures! In my free time I'd like to go on rides on my motorbike or go paragliding.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Love to meet new people from all cultures and go on crazy random adventures!

Also, don't mind my low response rate shown above. If you send more than a one-word message and stay appropriate, I will most likely reply!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you Dutch if you want, as well as give you my view of the future of robotics and engineering. Recently took a course about selfdriving cars so I can tell you all about it!

What I Can Share with Hosts

I want to visit the less traveled places so I won't drag you to the same spots in your hometown you've probably seen a million times before! I love nature and hiking so I'd most likely want to go for a hike somewhere.
