CURRENT MISSION

Travel as much as possible while finishing my Ph.D. at University of Edinburgh. I am a big fan of outdoors and thrill seeking; climbing, bouldering, riding my motorbike, diving and surfing.

ABOUT ME

Currently a Ph.D. student in the field of cancer and genetics, I'm getting a lot of energy from traveling and meeting new people. I try to get out of my comfort zone as much as possible and try something new each day.

Sarcasm and self-spot on the go.

PHILOSOPHY

Do whatever you want to, while not limiting others to do the same.

“One’s destination is never a place, but a new way of seeing things.”
~Henry Miller

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Just moved to a new place in Edinburgh where I can host people, in this way trying to give back to the travelling community I have enjoyed so much all my life! I believe travellers and CS'ers are generally open-minded people with a great story to tell.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Travelling Kenya and Uganda on a motorcycle.

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm a foodie and love to cook for other people. For me food is like being in the lab; testing out new things systematically and always trying something new.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I always tend to bring food from my home country; Dutch cheese, Scottish pies or whisky.
