Hi! I live in Utrecht, where I work for an environmental NGO on sustainable agriculture. I was born and raised in the east of the Netherlands and moved to Utrecht to study. My dream is to open my own vegan bakery and bake the best vegan croissants.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I really like the idea of actively being somewhere when I visit a place. Going to a hotel or hostel often makes me feel disconnected from the local community and learning from that local culture is really valuable for me. I hope to find that through Couchsurfing.
