Hi! I am Kootje, a 21 year old from the Netherlands. After traveling in countries as Mexico, Korea, Vietnam, Cambodja, USA and many countries in Europe, I figured it was about time to join Couchsurfing to discover more and meet new people as well. Currently, I study International Business and Languages in ‘s Hertogenbosch

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

As student life is already hard enough as it is, accommodation is in my opinion the most practical and obvious thing to save money on :)
During my travels over the past years I have met so many nice people with whom I am still in contact as of today, which is to me the most precious souvenir one can take.
Thereby I have always preferred shared rooms + meeting others over a fancy and antisocial hotel. Traveling is about sharing experiences and discover together, so if you feel the same, don't hesitate to get in touch with me!

I am new on CS, therefore I don't have any references yet. You could always send me a private message to get to know me or check out my socials:
