My name is Marleen, a 19 year old student from the Netherlands. I've always been interested in other cultures, history and meeting new people. I'm not the party-type of student. Instead, I prefer a good hike and visiting museums, especially on vacation. Although I love to get together with a small group of friends and enjoy an ice cold beer.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

About one year ago I became addicted to traveling (I never even set foot on an airplane before) and I found out it wasn't the cheapest addiction. But I'm not only on couchsurfing to spare some money. I'd love to meet new people and explore other cities/countries, and I think the best way to do that is to meet locals.

Music, Movies, and Books

My taste in music depends on my mood. Most of the time I'm listening to folk/indie, but I also like rock, pop, classical music, grunge, etc etc.
I don't read often (which I think I actually should be doing) but I do watch a loooottt of Netflix series. I love some good sitcoms, detectives and documentaries. Currently I'm watching Bojack Horseman, the fictional bastard always cheers me up.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

On my first holiday, I went with a group which I'd meet at the airport. There I would also find out where we were going. I went to Edinburgh, Scotland with 7 other lovely people. I'm still friends with some of them, as with the locals we met.
