---For guests: please note I will be traveling this summer (from the end of June)---

Hey all, I'm a Dutch gal living and studying in Brussels since 2008.
I love traveling, being outside (biking, hiking, camping) and I love to watch movies (especially the European cinema).

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I've been a Couchsurfing member since 2008. This started out when I lived with my ex-boyfriend and we wanted to meet and host people and show them our city.
Since then I've been on/off active on Couchsurfing, depending on whether I had a couch available.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

-I've hosted very cool people from France, United States, Belarus, Russia, Poland, the UK/Malaysia
and Korea
-I've surfed couches in Germany, France, Hungary, Czech Republic, Austria, Slovakia and Canada - all amazing experiences, very fun and welcoming hosts
-I went to CS meetings in and around Brussels, in Lille and in Prague

Music, Movies, and Books

I love all kinds of movies, especially the more independent cinema. Some of my favorite movies: Paris, Texas, Enter the void, Moon, Dancer in the dark, Caché

One of my favorite authors is the Dutch author Arnon Grunberg

I have a broad interest in music - challenging to think of something that I don't like haha
