Hi! My name is Merel, I am 20 years old. I was born in Nijmegen but I currently study and live in Eindhoven. In the future I want to do something with sustainability and hope to find or create a job I can do while traveling.

I love going on adventures, explore, learn and meet new people. I like activities, humor and open mindedness. I love animals, especially cats :)
This year I started learning Spanish, scuba diving, surfing, playing the piano and Indonesian for my trip to Bali. My biggest adventure this year is traveling solo for the first time!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I hope to meet a lot of new people, get to know you and hear about interests, home country, experiences, everything :)
