Hi! I'm a Dutch (human) geographer who loves nature, animals, adventures, heavy weather, snow, camp fires, music, urbex, motorcycles, wandering and wondering, and meaningful conversations.

I live with my three (yes, that's 3 indeed..) rescued ex-street cats in the beautiful historic city of Utrecht. My boyfriend/partner lives in a different city in a different part of the Netherlands, but he may be around my place during weekends etc. He is also fluent in Russian and German, which is helpful sometimes!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Traveling is a beautiful thing to do, but also expensive. So let's help each other out and create memories!

Interests

Different cultures, eastern Europe, learning Spanish and Russian, geography, dancing salsa and kizomba, cooking, riding my motorbike, enjoying life, (solitude) walks, fall and it's beatiful colors, heavy weather, animals and having meaningful conversations.

Music, Movies, and Books

I don't own a tv, but when I am somehwere where people do have one I like to watch things like National Geographic and Discovery channel.

Books: mostly Belgian authors, Scandinavian crimi's and (semi-)scientific stuff.

Music: I just don't know where to start...

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I flew a plane once (like really controlling it myself!)

Teach, Learn, Share

I would really like to learn some Spanish or Russian (other languages are also fun), if you would like to I can learn you some Dutch.
