ABOUT ME

I'm Milou, 28 years old. I live in Enschede where I'm studying Science Education and Communication. This world makes me very very curious, I'd like to know everything about everything. Especially the wonderfull world of nature caught my attention. I like the 'rhythm' of nature, the sun, the seasons, the way the trees lose their leaves in autumn and new leaves grow in spring.

I enjoy early mornings, when everything is foggy and the sun comes up. When the streets are empty and quiet.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I really like meeting new people, share simple things, a beer in the park, a simple breakfast and many many stories.

Interests

I'm interested in pretty much everything that's going on, here on earth. Music, traveling, cultures, art, reading, design, nature, being outdoors, enjoy the sun and the snow, sailing, surfing, ice skating, tramping, kayaking, backpacking, drawing, movies and cycling and longboarding

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

The coolest thing I've ever done is going to New Zealand on my own. I went there after high school and stayed there for 6 months. I loved it! I loved the beautiful scenery and I loved the people! I did amazing things like skydiving, bungyjumping, tramping, kayaking, but the things I remember best were my stays at the farms, for wwoofing. I'd love to do that again!

Teach, Learn, Share
