Overview
About Me
Since January this year, I have started to study Liberal Arts & Science at the University College Roosevelt in a small city in the south-west of the Netherlands, Middelburg. This was a change for me, since I am born and raised in Amsterdam. I am probably majoring in cognitive science, psychology and philosophy, however I am not sure yet, because I have lots of interests. I love art and music for instance, and I love to travel. I am able to travel for long periods since I have a summer break of 3,5 months and a winter break of 1,5 months.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
I would love to meet new people, and experience the country as a local. In Slovenia, we had such a nice experience staying with someone, and this tastes like more. After the summer, I will also be able to host people in Middelburg.
Interests
I like to paint, draw, listen to music, party, watch good films, lie on the beach or in the park with friends, cook, chill at the kitchen table and to go to museums. I also like to go to second hand/trift shops, and look for the hidden pearls available.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
Last summer, my boyfriend and me hitchhiked throughout Europe for six weeks. We have had wonderful and crazy experiences. I would do it all over again. We started off in Amsterdam, than we hitchhiked through Germany to Austria, Italy, Slovenia, Slovakia, Czech Republic and then back to Amsterdam again.
Teach, Learn, Share
I could teach people the English and Dutch language. Also, I could teach them how to make a portrait off someone, although these are basis skills, I am not a professional.
All passions that the host would likes to share are welcome, I am eager to learn new things.
Sharing is caring.
What I Can Share with Hosts
We could share our thoughts on certain topics, I am very interested in another's opinion. Also, we could share costs of dinner or other jointly costs.
