Informazioni generali
Chi sono
I'm an energetic, culture-loving and food-addicted Dutch girl. And no, just because I'm Dutch does not mean I walk around on cloggs or smoke weed everyday (do you also hear Snoop Dogg in your head right now?). Want to know what I do do? Read on!
Perché sono iscritto su Couchsurfing
I am so excited about meeting new people! I love finding out about other peoples' lives and cultures, and how that differs from mine. Couchsurfing combines that with my passion of discovering new places and new food. Perfect!
My first time in New York, I stayed at an Air BnB place, but met up with several Couchsurfers and loved it. Second time I did get to stay at two CS'ers. I had a great time discovering new places together and talking about our cultures.
Interessi
Photography! I like to pretend I'm a pro, but really all my good shots are just luck. (See Teach, Learn, Share)
Cooking can also go on my list. Whenever I have the time, I love challenging myself with recipes by Jamie Oliver or Ottolenghi.

Musica, film e libri
MUSIC
Anything really. From R&B to EDM: Alessia Cara, Steve Angello, Beyoncé, Disclosure, Justin Timberlake, Usher, Axwell /\ Ingrosso, Jess Glynne, Tiësto, Natalie La Rose. Fun fact: the last two are Dutch.
Favorite tune of the moment: Here - Alessia Cara
Guilty pleasure: Dance Like We're Making Love - Ciara
MOVIES
Um, also pretty much anything. Harry Potter, Fast & Furious, Hunger Games, Maleficent, RED, Silver Linings Playbook, Frozen, The Great Gatsby, Wolf of Wallstreet. Oh, and literally any movie can make me cry.
Favorite movie of all time: Step Up Revolution
Guilty pleasure: Final Destination
BOOKS
Wish I had time for those. Reading all the Harry Potter books is still on my bucket list.
Una cosa incredibile che ho fatto
Three years ago I helped Pastor Zodwa cook for almost 100 orphans in a South African township. It was amazing to see the gratitute of the children and the devotion of Pastor Zodwa and her fellow volunteers.
Insegna, impara, condividi
I am in love with learning languages. Recently I followed some Chinese courses in my university, and I also still want to improve my French, Danish and Spanish! If you can help me out with those (or any other language really) I will try to teach you the best Dutch words and expressions.
I also really really want to learn how to play an instrument. Piano is the highest on my list, but anything would be cool to learn!
Photography has been one of my hobbies for quite a while now, but I never really looked past the more basic functions on my Epson. It would be amazing if you could teach me some new cool techniques!
Cosa posso offrire ai padroni di casa
I am a sucker for pets. If you have one, I can assure you that you will not have to worry about it for the entire time I am your guest. Also, I can try teaching you some dance moves, if you're up for a challenge. I can also tell you anything you want to know about the Netherlands or Europe. Overall, I am crazy and spontaneous, so I hope to make your days a bit more exciting than usual!
