👤 Ever since I was old enough to travel on my own, I started exploring the world. I decided to study tourism management and this took me all around Europe. Eventually I went to Australia where I did my internship in Sydney. After I came back home I finished studies and went backpacking through Central and Eastern Europe; an amazing trip! Not long after I got invited to work onboard the Queen Victoria, a British cruise ship! I worked there for only half a year, but it took me literally all around the world. By now I’ve visited over 50 countries and there’s still so much more I wish to see...

🏠 Update: I recently got my own place in the beautiful city of Leiden in The Netherlands! Therefore I am now finally able to host you guys and return the favour to many of my Couchsurfing friends :)

📝 Also, I am a self-proclaimed travel writer and I’ve created a website on which I wrote everything about my backpacking trip through Europe, with more stories to follow: dawn-under.com

🍻 I am very open-minded and eager to learn new things. If you'd like to meet up, let me know!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

🗺 It has always been my dream to travel and to meet people from all the corners of the world. Couchsurfing offers the opportunity to get to know the locals and meet up with fellow travelers. I also love to learn more about the local history and culture, which is why I think it would be interesting to stay with families, too.
