Hi there!

My name is Maaike. I'm a 20-year old Dutch student, currently back home in the Netherlands. I have been studying in Melbourne from the beginning of July 2016 till the end of October. And then the travels began!

I travelled to the west-coast of Australia, to Tasmania, New-Zealand and then the east-coast of Australia. It truly where the best months of my life! I'm back studying in the Netherlands now, and I have to say I miss the other side of the world like crazy.

I'm a very happy girl just looking for some fun! Love a sunny day, a good book, great movie fan and can't go a day without some music. Always up for adventures.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To find a nice place to stay while travelling and offering others the same! :) Meeting new people and trying new things I consider as the great experiences during travelling.

Music, Movies, and Books

Great Coldplay fan. Also: Snow Patrol, The Black Keys, Ben Howard, Nothing but Thieves, U2.

But listen to everything, from Drake till ODESZA and from classic rock to modern hip-hop.
