I'm a 26-year-old woman from Wageningen, The Netherlands, currently studying Forest and Nature Conservation and Geo-Information Science. I'm majoring in Ecology with a passion for natural resources and the rights of those who depend upon it.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Standard answer: to see new places and meet new people, giving me a closer insight into other people's views. Help out anywhere. I don't have a lot of space to offer but you will be in good hands (and paws).

Music, Movies, and Books

Richard Adams, Michael Ende and Jeanette Winterson are writers who have definitely shaped bits of who I am today.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Wrestled my way through life so far, climbed physical and metaphorical mountains and continue to smile.

Teach, Learn, Share

I would love to learn a little bit of your language. Feel free to bring any musical instruments along. Must respect our cats :) I like to share food and trade stories. Can teach you many board games.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Good company and hours of cooking. A guide along the river and through the woods. Two unique-minded cats.
