I am a biology student at Leiden University and at the second year of my masters degree, graduating is the most important thing right now. I am really passionate about competition swimming and I am training 4 times a week. I still hope to improve my time! I am a very happy person and try to smile a lot during the day, it makes me happy, but a smile can also make another persons day better.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I want to meet new people and get myself into the open. I am trying to come out of my very comfortable comfort zone. Travelling is a great way to develop yourself in any way possible, if this is combined with meeting new people it is even better.

Music, Movies, and Books

I like all kinds of music, but right now I really like to listen Ed Sheeran, Passenger, Avicii and Kygo.

I do not really have a favorite movie, I am in for everything! Action, drama, Disney.

I really do like reading, so I am not really able to say something about my favorite book. However, my favorite writer is a Dutch one, she is called Thea Beckman.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

In 2012 I crossed the Enghlish Channel with a swimming team called Dutch Ladies First, I think this is the most amazing thing I have ever experienced.
