Hi! I’m Elianne, a 20 something year old student from the Netherlands. I love exploring the world and what better way to do it them meeting the people who live in it. I'm a positive, adventures person who is not afraid of new experiences. I love going to places I’ve never seen and doing things I’ve never done. I’m always trying to look for a new adventure.

PS. I don't drink alcohol. I don't mind sipping a lemonade while other enjoy a cold pint, but it just isn't my thing.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

For me traveling is about trying to understand the local culture. And you just can't do that when you only visit the sights. I love meeting the people who call a place home and learn from them. I love seeing new ways of looking at the world and how the simplest of things can be different for each person or culture.

Music, Movies, and Books

This question is too big to answer. Seriously. But these are some books I love: Born a crime by Trevor Noah; The unlikely discipline by Kevin Roose; Dan Carter's Autobiography; The subtle art of not giving a f*ck by Mark Manson; Amish confidential by Levi Schultz and many many more...

I also love music by Gregory Porter, Funk Cannon, Glenn Claes, Allen Stone, Parson James and so many more...

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I swam with Humpback whales, I have snorkeled between two continents in freezing water and I met the voice actor that did the German version of Anakin Skywalker.

Teach, Learn, Share

Although I somehow remember a lot of random facts and the only teachable skill I have is clothe making. I'm a seemstress so if you need a buttom sown on or a shirt hemmed, I'm your girl!
And I can teach you how to organise a good event or brainstorm if that's useful to you ...

What I Can Share with Hosts

I'm no Jamie Oliver but I can cook an alright meal. And I can supply you with some random facts.

And I'm really good at loosing in boardgames, so if you love playing, but hate loosing I'm your buddy!
