Hi I am Imke, easy going, talkative, good natured PhD student from the Netherlands.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Adventure is out there!! I am on couchsurfing because I like meeting new, likeminded people who love to travel. I know that many people who travel are on a budget and therefore I would like to provide them with accomodation and a good time.

Interests

I obviously love to travel, meet new people, learn new languages. I love exercising, running, workouts, hiking. I try to eat mostly vegetarian and healthy, but I really love chocolate.... I play the guitar (not very well though), love indie music.

Music, Movies, and Books

Gosh anything indie folk really, but to give a bit of an impression; Mumford and Sons, All the kings daughters, Milky chance, My Baby, Tame Impala, Agnus stone. But I also like the red hot chillipeppers, Queen and Ludovico Einaudi so pretty diverse.

Snatch!!! Other than that Finding Nemo, Up, Despicable me (I am really mature). I am currently watching all the marvel movies.

Mostly Dutch literature, but in terms of international literature; I love Haruki Murakami books (have not read too many of them though), 1984, Brave new world, any thing from Roald Dahl, Memoirs of a Geisha.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Backpacking through Bolivia, Peru and Ecuador with friends, an amazing experience.

Teach, Learn, Share

Languages!!!! If someone could help me improve my French or practice my German that would be brilliant. Also Bengali classes are more than welcome.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I've got a pretty good mustard soup recipe. Other than that I just make good company and love playing boardgames ;-)
