About Me

I'm a student in Utrecht, I really like to discover the world and to get as many perspectives on the world as possible. I like music, especially indie/rock and electronic music. I am studying Language and Culture Studies, which mainly contains subjects about international relations. During last year, I did a minor in Arabic language.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I find it very interesting to meet people from all over the world and I always want to get different perspectives of the world: by getting different perspectives, I think I can try to connect people from different cultures in a future job. Apart from that, I just think Couchsurfing is a fun way to get to know people; it is in my opinion nicer to stay at someone's place to get to know their culture better, instead of sleeping in a hostel or hotel.
