Hey, I'm Iris and I'm an 18 year old girl from the Netherlands. I don't really know what to write on here but I'll do my best to be as interesting as possible :p So I really love travelling and Asian culture, the Japanese one in particular (yes I like anime too). I can't imagine a future in which I live in the Netherlands. Anyway, I love making foreign friends and sharing our cultures and perspectives on anything really. I enjoy talking about languages and anime too.

I'm studying medicines at a university in Amsterdam. Science is cool. I guess you can call me a geek.

This section is rather incoherent, I apologise. But I love meeting new people and getting to know more about you (:

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I have a big passion for foreign cultures (especially Asian cultures) and would like to get the local experience ^_^

Interests

Nothing to elaborate on really :p I like learning new languages and exchanging cultures. I've lived in Indonesia and Thailand before, and am interested in studying in Japan in the future. I like to talk about stuff. Let's do that.
