Overview
About Me
I am an enthusiastic, easy-going person, currently on a very interesting chapter of my life (I'm studying a Master in Architecture in the Netherlands). It's my first time living abroad and so far my favorite thing has been riding my bicycle 24/7, eating freshly made stroopwafels and getting to meet so many international friends :D
p.s. I'm currently not being able to accept guests because uni life is too hectic right now + my current roomate is not familiar with CS, but maybe in the future...
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
