CURRENT MISSION

graduate and become PhD!

ABOUT ME

Outgoing person, likes to talk and meet other people. Not really a standard lab-geek; I like to design and make my own clothes.

One of my hobbies is hiking and climbing in the mountains, but since there ain't any in the Netherlands I can only do that on holidays in Germany, Austria or Switzerland.

PHILOSOPHY

Do as much as you can in a short period of time

Or in Dutch: "zo veel mogelijk doen in een zo kort mogelijke tijd"

I've had this one since I was 16 :-)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I like to host couch-surfers in my house in Koedijk (short bus ride from the center of Alkmaar). Alkmaar is the cheese capital of the Netherlands and on fridays in summer there is the most famous tourist attraction in the Netherlands: the cheese-market.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have couchsurfed in Wisconsin and Michigan in the USA and met some couchsurfers at my sisters place in Amsterdam.
