About Me

Hola!
My name is Fija and I am 25 years old from the Netherlands. I live with my boyfriend, Gianluca
(https://www.couchsurfing.com/people/gianluca-tomasoni-1), in Amsterdam since 2 years, he is 29 years old. We have been together almost 5 years, we met in Australia. We have travelled through quite some countries and really enjoy socializing and getting to know local cultures and discovering local cuisine. I have been selected to do my study abroad in Finnish Lapland, so we will move north soon!
Before doing this we will explore the beautiful island of Sardinia for 2 weeks, Copenhagen for 4 days and then we're off to live in Rovaniemi till December 2019! Very excited for us. Gianluca will try to find work there while I'll be busy studying.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Looking for fun places to stay with locals to learn more about the country's culture and the best places to see.

Interests

We share our love of traveling.
Besides that I am into photography and we both love music.
Gianluca loves sport and he has been playing both rugby and soccer.
He is an amazing cook (yes, being Italian helps), and I'm into baking lately.

Music, Movies, and Books

I play the piano and Gianluca can play guitar. I love to play ukulele as well haha!
I am a big fan of reading as well as watching movies together.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Scuba diving. Love it. Still super scary but love it.
Also deciding to travel is one of the best things I've done!
Oh and don't forget skydiving..

Teach, Learn, Share

Hoping to see as much of the world as possible. We love learning new things, skills and languages. We are curious and love exploring new places. Tell us all about your favourite place, your current place, or any lifechanging moments you've experienced and we'll tell you ours!

What I Can Share with Hosts

Our stories of traveling so far.
Also, Gianluca can make great Italian pizza while telling you all about sourdough (lievito madre). We are both tidy people and will cook/bake for you to thank you for welcoming us in your home.
