ABOUT ME

I am a 23 year old with a self-proclaimed dual nationality. My official nationality is Dutch, but I have spent half my life in the UK, so I feel just as passionate about Kate and Wills as I do about Dutch junk food and open-mindedness :) Having just graduated, I am now spending a year travelling before I start life in the office. Discovering new places is one of my favourite things, and when I am somewhere new I will explore relentlessly until I have seen as much as possible!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

At the moment I am travelling so I am looking to meet locals as I travel around.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

My best friend introduced me to it when we went on a trip to Stockholm together and I can safely say the weekend would not have been the same without our hosts taking us in, walking through the city with us and telling us fun stories about Swedish culture.

Interests

Exploring new areas and becoming familiar in new surroundings by finding the lesser known spots, shopping, especially bargain hunting, reading, going out, any activity with good friends gives me crazy bursts of happiness!
