What do you think are the main characteristics of a Golden Retriever? That is me a nutshell: enthusiastic, social and just a tiny bit clumsy. As a literature student at the University of Utrecht, people expect me to be a true bookworm trying to read books at as many places as possible e.g. train stations, parks, on the toilet etc. Fortunately, this is not true: my social life is amazing and I love to be outdoors trying to meet as many people as possible. This is also the main purpose of why I travel getting to meet new people all around the world and the different cultures.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

This summer I've taken a new adventure of interrailing through Spain with my girlfriend. This opens the possibility to visit as many places as we want. Yet, as mentioned before I love to be socializing and exploring the culture so what better way than through couchsurfing?
To get the full experience, we want to get in contact with the inhabitants, secret places, best restaurants, and inside information about the city itself. We will explore many areas and would love to hear your opinion and suggestions.
