*I record my whole exchange and travel journey on YouTube as "Natas on tour"*

I'm a open and social person who always likes to try new things to know myself better. Quite easy going and likes to share stories or experiences. Exploring the world is fascinating me which why I like to travel. Nowadays I am a student in Amsterdam where I'm studying Nutrition and Dietetics. Besides studying I play lacrosse and row.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I want to meet the locals and get more experience with traveling alone. Also I really would like to see new things which I wouldn't see if I was a tourist who is following the books and Internet.

Hopefully I can help others in the further so you don't worry about a sleeping place and you can full focus on your trip and adventure!

Interests

Trips with friends. Traveling. Food related things with health Field hockey and lacrosse.

Music, Movies, and Books

• Real based stories fascinate me. I love health and the process of the human body

• House, dance and pop - as long as you can dance on the music!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

If you know me; I have done more amazing things in my life ;)

• Study abroad in Australia for one semester in 2017. Traveled the Great Ocean Road with Easter in a campervan!

• Traveled 1,5 months after my semester abroad. The East Coast (Australia) by car and campervan and then alone in New Zealand

• "Go with the flow!" Without a solid plan I hitchhiked 1,5 week for the first time alone in New Zealand! Met amazing local people during my trip there!

• First backpacktrip alone in summer 2016 for 15 days through Hungary, Austria and Slovenia!

• Played for the Young Dutch National Team (U21) where we joined the Prague Cup in 2014/2015. My clubteam got second with the national championship in 2015-2016 .

• Joined a Chinese cultural overseas summer camps twice for two weeks. Shanghai, Beijing, Sichuan and Chengdu made me realize how similar we all are as a second generation of our country

Teach, Learn, Share

Learn to appreciate yourself and be thankful for the people who helped you. This is what I want to give back to people who I meet

What I Can Share with Hosts

We can have dinner together, so I can cook if there is time for it. Also I can tell a lot about what kind of effect does food has on the human body. But most of all I can tell my experience with traveling and my enthusiasm :)

And if you want to know some things in a different language I know, feel free to ask then.
