About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Being India-bound somewhere in the spring of 2013 to explore its beauty, culture, and lots of interesting people.

ABOUT ME

I can seem a bit shy at first glance, but my friends can tell you that there is a whole other world behind this exterior! I am a very honest person and I like efficiency. My name is easily associated with clumsiness, but not in a harmful way ;). I'm a bit of a science geek but one that loves to party and travel as well!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

None yet, but heard a ton of amazing stories, so here I am!

Interests

One of the main things I spend my time on is my study in physics. I just finished my bachelor's degree in Amsterdam and am currently in between studies. I love science and everything that comes with it :).
Another thing I love is indoor climbing. I'm looking forward to taking this hobby outdoors as well soon, but haven't gotten the chance yet.
Music has always been a great pleasure for me. Please don't hand me any instruments or your ears will be sorry, but I love spending time on finding out about new bands (or old ones!) and especially going to concerts and festivals. My main interest here is rock (classic, 60s, 70s), but also blues, pop, country, folk..

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Sky-diving over the Remarkables in Queenstown; no further comments needed.

Walking through Yosemite National Park, admiring the waterfalls and infinite shades of green.

Snorkeling over the Great Barrier Reef. Seeing my breakfast in reverse on the boat there was totally worth it..
