My name is Eline, I'm an artist and exhibition maker. Besides art, I am very much into Lindy Hop dancing, literature, philosophy and hiking. I am hoping to meet new people from all over the world, get to know new cultures, explore new food, ideas and mindsets.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

When travelling I enjoy meeting local and like-minded people. I think couch surfing is an ideal way for this!

Interests

I love:
- contemporary art. I am always up for a discussion or good conversation about art :)
- Lindy Hop dancing! A dance style from the 1920s danced on jazz music from this time.
- baking bread, cookies, cakes, pancakes, etc.
- literature and books. Exchanging book tips, yes please!
- podcasts. I am very much into storytelling, and I really enjoy listening to stories whilst doing other things, like working in the garden or cleaning the house.

Music, Movies, and Books

I generally enjoy jazz music and world music, or music that is influenced by other parts of the world.

Favourite books are:
- 'Half a Yellow Sun' by Chimamanda Adichie
- 'Piranesi' by Susanna Clarke
- '100 Years of Solitude' by Gabriel Garcia Merquez

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Make exhibitions world wide, among others in Zürich, Dakar, Brussels, etc.
