ABOUT ME

Hi, my name is Eline (or Elaine if you prefer). I'm currently finishing my philosophy studies in Nijmegen. Next year I'm going to take a year off to write a novel and to travel. My main occupations are reading, writing, hanging out on our balcony, and traveling.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I think couchsurfing is a great way to meet new people and hear their stories. I think this way of traveling gives much more insight in a new culture.
