I'm a wandering dreamer from the Netherlands who feels most at home in Berlin. I love discovering vibrant cities, hiking the most beautiful mountains, relaxing on exotic islands, learning about culture and history by exchanging stories with lovely people around the world and maybe someday settling down in a little cottage in the woods with some goats and chickens. I enjoy meeting people for a conversation, a laugh, a game or a dance, but I’m also an introvert and I like spending time alone as well.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To travel the world and to let the world travel to me.

CS is also a great place to meet people who are not travelling at the moment, but who are in for fun stuff like knitting in Ikea, playing games or just hanging out.

Interests

I love hobbies and starting new things. For example, in Athens I took a hoop dance course and in Berlin I sang in a pop choir and I took ballet classes. It’s fun to do something a little different and getting to know sides of yourself you didn’t know they existed.
