Hello! I’m Michelle, 25, and I’ve recently graduated in international law. I am working at a university on ‘frugal innovation’, doing research, communication and organizing events. I love to see the world and go on adventures. My ultimate dream is to become an actress and theatre producer.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Couchsurfing is a great way to help others and also meet new people & give your life a bit more adventure.

Interests

In my free time I’m quite creative: theater, playing piano and guitar, singing, writing, and more. I’m a happy, quirky and open-minded person who loves adventures, making my friends laugh and trying new things.

Music, Movies, and Books

Live jazz is the best! Also have a soft spot for indie/alternative music.
Some favourites: Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young, the Beach Boys, Stevie Wonder, Eddie Vedder, Ásgeir

Most of my reading has been big boring law books. So now that I’m graduated I hope to start reading something actually interesting.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Hitchhiking from The Hague to Slovenia in two days, and then hitching a ride on a private jet back to the Netherlands. Just don’t ask me how I got there.

Also, no feeling in the world compares to climbing a mountain and taking in a breathtaking view from the top.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can lick my elbow - not really a teachable skill though. I can teach some Dutch or tell you about international climate change law - if it doesn’t bore you.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Food, music, conversation and if I have time: explore the city.
