Hi! I am Marije, a Dutch girl who loves to travel. I have been a few months in Central America, and I travelled around South East Asia. Always with a friend, but this time I decided to travel Iceland by myself. Couchsurfing is a new experience for me, but I think I will love it :) It would be amazing to have a little peek in your house, and maybe discover the real Icelandish culture. I think it is amazing if you want to share your house with me for a night, and if you feel like it, we can go for a drink or a hike. I am up for it. I am also a good cook, so I can cook us dinner. Hope to see you :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I believe couchsurfing is the ideal way to really get to know a country. If you let someone in your house, you must be an open, pleasant and nice person. Lovely to meet you!

Interests

I love music, and especially music festivals. If I can get back in time in Reykjavik, I will definitely visit the festival begin november. Also a bar with live music is a great place for me to hang out.
I like board- and cardgames. If you can teach me a new one that would be great!
I am a sporty girl. I run, I play korfbal (a typically Dutch sport), squash and I love skiing. And of course, if it is beautiful outside, I love hiking.

Teach, Learn, Share

I'd love to learn about your habits, culture, music and food.
I can teach you how to juggle, how to perfectly fit too much luggage in a small bag and I can teach you about Korfbal, a sport they play in some countries, but especially in the Netherlands.

Of course, you are always welcome to stay in my couch in Amsterdam in return :)
