I'm Desiree, originally from the Netherlands, in the spring of 2019 I moved from Amsterdam to Columbus, Ohio to work as a research scholar. I would say I'm quite athletic, with a big passion for dancing of any kind, now focusing on modern contemporary and I try to get into salsa on my nights out. I've ran a marathon this October and try to bike everywhere as much as I can.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm always happy to meet new people with interesting perspectives on themselves and the world! I'm very interested in hearing about different cultures and talking about life, politics, religion, everything that matters to you (not a big tv/sports fan, however: go buckeyes! )
