My name is Natasha Rijkhoff, half English, half Dutch and currently living in Rotterdam. I just finished a fine art degree and now I'm making, working and traveling.

I love meeting new people, especially if I am a place I don't know. Although I am also very happy in my own company, wandering through new places. Always eager for new adventures, tastes, sounds, friends and stories.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

While I was traveling I used CS all the time. I think it's a great way to travel and meet new people, with an added bonus of outsmarting capitalism.

Interests

I love to read, be with friends, eat in the garden, go to beaches in the winter. I have a racing bike and regularly go out exploring on it. I love planning to travel somewhere almost as much as going.

In my work I work a lot with ceramics, which I love. I enjoy collaborating with people, hearing others' take on things an being given a fresh perspective. I am an eager listener and learner. I also love dancing, walking, new places and cooking for people.
