Right now I am a student at Leiden University, where I am studying International Relations & Diplomacy. Before living in the Hague, I lived in Amsterdam where I finished by Bachelor's (in liberal arts!)

In general I love traveling (but who doesn't) and I am very easy-going. I love acting, and that and gaming and photography are my main hobbies. I've done a lot of plays and performed on stage in Amsterdam for a couple of years (which was a total blast!). At home I have a bunch of games that any guest can play on their down-time if they visit.

My biggest hobby before this year was running but then I got a bit lazy.

I think I'm funny but I don't have good references on that one. I enjoy meeting new people, and making friends with random strangers at a pub is something I look forward to when visiting new places.

If you got any dank memes hit me up.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Me and my roommates love meeting new people, and having our doors open for guests/future friends is something that we love doing.

I am planning on traveling a lot more in the next year, and I would love to meet new people along the way that have a lot to say or show about their home towns.

The first trip I am doing this year is actually study-related, I have an internship in Belize City and will be staying there for three months! I cannot wait to explore the area, and meet new people there. Plus, I am super excited to be back on the continent where I grew up after all these years!

Music, Movies, and Books

Don't make me choose between my children. I could sit here all days and list my favorite books, movies and music.

I'll just list some of the first things that I loved - but keep in mind that many more things came after that.

First song I loved (probably) - Here Comes the Sun, by the Beatles
First Movie that blew my mind - Toy Story (When I was three I cried at Shrek but I'm not sure that counts)
First Book that took me away to a different world - The Alchemist, by Paulo Coehlo

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I once ran up a mountain in Virginia.
