I'm a Dutchie and currently live in Bielefeld, Germany. I study Inter-American Studies which combines history/literature/sociology and looks at it in the American context (both North and South ;)).

I love living in different places to get to know new friends and cultures other than my own. I'm an open person, eager for new experiences and insights :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Just to meet and get to know some people from other countries to hang out with and practice my language skills. I'm always interested to learn more and think that Couchsurfing is a great platform to connect with others.

Music, Movies, and Books

Pretty much anything, ranging between folk/soul/electronic/classic rock/reggaeton. Some of my favourite artists include Frank Ocean/David Bowie/Alt-J/Sam Cooke/Fleetwood Mac.

When it comes to books I love non-fiction about psychology, philosophy and history. Also classics come to mind. Right now I'm reading A hundred years of solitude by García Márquez and I'm loving it!!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Living abroad / swimming with whale sharks / skydiving / visit Patagonia (okay so not just One thing but could not pick :))

Teach, Learn, Share

I used to be an English teacher and I might also be able to help with improving other languages. I would say I'm most passionate about learning language, at the moment I am fluent in 4, and learning more every day. It really is a hobby of mine!
