Hello! I'm Joia, 25 years old, originally from Amsterdam and currently living in Berlin. I love getting to know new places, people and cultures. I'm always up for a beer, dancing, cooking and discussing politics.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Experiencing a place through the eyes of a local! I've had a couple of really great experiences through Couchsurfing, such as getting to know Sevilla, exploring Bethlehem and hanging out in Quito. Can't wait to add a new one!

Interests

When I'm visiting a new place, I love to explore cool neighborhoods, go to expositions on for example modern art and photography and get a taste of the local cuisine and nightlife

Music, Movies, and Books

I like a lot of different styles of music, but to just name a few artists: Bonobo, Alt-J, Tame Impala, Amy Winehouse, The xx, Arctic Monkeys, Manu Chao, Nicolas Jaar, SBTRKT

Favorite movie would be le fabuleux destin d'Amélie Poulain <3

What I Can Share with Hosts

I'm always up for a good discussion on politics ;). Furthermore, I love to cook, so if we cook together, we can teach each other new recipes. Finally, you can practice your English or German with me and, in case you're interested in learning a language almost nobody speaks, your Dutch!
