Hi there!
My name is Marije, I'm 20 years old, living in Antwerp and studying in Gent (Belgium).
Things I live for: Travelling (obviously ;)), doing sports, music (mostly deep house and channels on YouTube like Selected), animals, cooking (and eating haha), hanging out with friends, movies,...
People mostly describe me as someone who is polite, spontaneous, funny, cheerful.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

The reason why I'm on this platform is because I love to travel in a way that opens my eyes, takes me out of my comfort zone and learns me new stuff. One of the best things about travelling (alone) for me is meeting new people and hearing their stories, making them change your perspective on all sorts of subjects. I would love to meet locals this summer during my trip with Interrail :)
