I am Naomi, born and raised in the Netherlands, a stone's throw away from Amsterdam. I studied Museology and currently embark on the last bits of a Master in World Heritage Studies; what suits my love for history, art and music. And like obviously most people here, I try to broaden my horizons (I lived in Ireland, Belgium and Spain, at this moment in Cottbus, Germany).

I hope to meet you soon!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Because: enjoying the best things life can offer: those harmonious moments with friends or people you just met, sitting somewhere beautiful, in a city, park, nature, savouring all their unique personalities, observing them for a moment, not talking for a change, just listening.

OR:

The sound of the first glug 'glug glug glug' leaving a winebottle while pouring; for me this feels like making secret concoctions working as an alchemist. In short: all these small, slightly quirky but great things in life you can enjoy.
