Overview
About Me
I started solo travelling after I graduated high school when I was 17 for a whole year, and I've been hooked ever since. Some of my most amazing memories come from the people I met along the way, and the languages, culture and food that we shared.
I live in the Netherlands at the moment for university. I study international studies specializing in Latin America, but really I'm interested in all cultures.
I am also a sports enthusiast. I played squash competitively in university, and now spend a lot of my time kitesurfing. I also love to play tennis, hike, and pretty much anything else that gets you to break a sweat. I learned how to dance Cuban Salsa when I was in Cuba, and I also know some bachata, and am always up for going out dancing!
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
To meet new and fascinating people. From my experiences so far I know that the absolute best way to get to know a new place/culture is to get to know the people who have lived there.
