I am considered a calm person but up for an adventure. I studied economics at Utrecht University and I am particularly interested in economic geography and psychology.

I am part of a european student network (AEGEE) which I organised several events for such as a self-development school, a summer holiday, a weekend for new members to meet each other and some other small international meetings. Furthermore I also use this student network to travel myself and meet new people, which has given me amazing friends that I will probably keep for the rest of my life! :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

The main reason is meeting people and seeing the real culture rather than just the touristic stuff.

For hosting it's mainly for meeting people, having fun and making them happy by showing them around.

Music, Movies, and Books

Music: House, Deephouse, Reggae, Trance, Rock. Those are my favorite but I really like a lot of music. (Favorite instruments: Piano & saxophone)

Movies: I don't really watch movies or TV. If I have to choose it would be the series House of Cards and Game of Thrones.

Books; I usually read only informative books, the ones I liked most are:

Freakonomics - Steven Levitt
Quiet: The power of introverts in a world that can't stop talking - Susan Cain
Utopia for realists - Rutger Bregman

What I Can Share with Hosts

My ideal host would be someone that likes to have a good conversation and is not easily distracted. I sometimes have conversations of hours about one specific subject and I really enjoy these.

Furthermore I would really like to help out with anything during my stay. I could cook food or help in your household, I enjoy doing that. Ofcourse I would also like to have nice experiences together and have a lot of fun doing so. I have a good camera so I will be taking pictures to get the memories on paper too :)
