Hi! I'm Jitske, 26 years old, veterinarian. I just came back from traveling a couple of months in Central America, and am planning on traveling some more around Europe before getting back to work.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm on Couchsurfing because I like to see the places I visit from a local perspective. I have visited many countries around the world, and some of my fondest memories are with hosts from CS. Hosts mostly have inside information about the best places to visit, have stories to tell about living there and I love talking about travels and life, sharing perspectives. One day I hope to host travelers myself as well.
