I'm a Dutch girl who has lived in Belgium for 4 years. Right now i'm finishing my master in conservation/restoration of paintings at the University of Antwerp. I absolutely love to travel around and especially to meet new people. I have a special love for Italy and try to be there as often as possible! Learning the language at the moment.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Meeting new people and seeing as much as possible on a student budget.

Interests

When i meet you I would like to hear about your perspective of life, your culture and your interests.

Because I do an art related study I love visiting museums, theatre and music. I especially like the classical arts. But some modern forms of art, like video and film, are also a favorite.

When I travel around i enjoy it when things are not always going according to a plan. I like living in the (unexpected) moment!

I love drawing when i have the time.

Music, Movies, and Books

Music: I can really appreciate all kinds.
Movies and series: Dramatic, gruesome and dark, or just disgustingly romantic. I particularly love phsycological thrillers!
Books: I love books that actually teach me new stuff.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Traveled the west of the USA for a month.

Teach, Learn, Share

I'd like to learn to play a musical instrument, especially the violin, and to speak Italian, ovviamente!

In return I could tell you a thing or two about art restoration, drawing or i could teach you to speak some Dutch (haha).

What I Can Share with Hosts

Fun, food and friendship.
