About Me

CURRENT MISSION

my mission is to never limit myself, to challenge myself to go places and do things that seem initially scary.

ABOUT ME

I'm currently a grad student at University of Amsterdam, studying International Relations. I live in Binnenstad neighborhood, pretty centrally located to the train station and all there is to see in the city. I like horror movies, learning languages, eating spicy food and listening to punk and folk music.

PHILOSOPHY

Don't limit yourself.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I'm new to CouchSurfing though I've done some couchsurfing (lower case) of my own through friends of friends before. I'd love to both host and surf while I'm in the Netherlands this year.

Interests

I'm interested in Foreign Policy, peace and conflict studies, human rights advocacy, Middle East history, b-movies, horror movies, cuddling with cats!, meeting new people, having a beer and some good conversation, practicing my language skills, a good book, and many more things!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

On my last day in Egypt I went sandboarding with a few new but close friends. I will never forget how it felt to stand on top of a 100 ft dune and see the most beautiful sunset I've seen in my life over the Sahara. It was a perfect gift at the end of an amazing experience, having seen stars I'd never seen before and having made life-long travel buddies.
