Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
I just graduated as a history teacher. For now I am going to travel along south east Europe.
ABOUT ME
After having lived in Glasgow, travelled a little around the UK, Europe, China, western Africa and Morocco, I have stabilized myself in the Capital of the Netherlands to study.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
I have host and surfed a few times, but I'm keen for more experiences.
Interests
I love social interaction, I find people interesting as well as their struggles and stories. I love history. I also like hiking and camping, preferably on my own, cycling, socializing, dancing, music (not so much active as well as passive) and traveling!

Music, Movies, and Books
I love ska, quite hip hop (discovered 'Chinese man' lately, awesome!), but also love the Northern Europeans like Bjork, Agnes Obel and Thomas Dypdahl.
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
The generosity of people blows my mind, it makes me realize how uptight we are, or, I am. I haven't used Couchsurfing so much, but I have surfed a lot of couches on different continents, bij hitchhiking and people invited me into their homes.
I walked across some parts of Morocco and Spain, this where very powerful experiences and it makes me want to live in countries where you don't understand the culture. Eventhough Scotland and the Netherlands aren't that different, the differences make you freer as a person.
Teach, Learn, Share
I like to share music, I am actually trying to learn to play the harmonica.
What I Can Share with Hosts
I am a calm person but love to talk and listen. I can teach you a little history, share music, cook, take you on an adventure.
