Overview
About Me
Hey! I'm young woman who grew up in the suburbs of Amsterdam. Since half a year I've lived in mystical Wales, but London is and forever will be my home. I love the city and was fortunate enough to spend five fantastic years there.
I'm very curious and love life, with it's struggles. I like going to gigs, exploring different parts of the world, meeting people from all over and well, I like lots of things actually. Yoga, animals, writing, reading, painting.. I'm interested in other people and I love hearing stories.
As a guest I'll be very respectful and I promise I'm fun to be around :-) As much as I love being around people, I do like to keep to myself as well so I'm totally cool if you don't have much time to hang out. But.... I would love it if you could show your favourite parts of the city.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
Staying with locals is simply the best way to truly experience a new city. I love showing people around my town or wherever I'm living. Hosting people is great but so is receiving every now and then!
(I don't host people on CS just yet)
