Hi! I'm Nienke, 22 years old and I'm studing development sociology.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To be honest, I'm a poor student and couchsurfing is a cheap and fun way to find a place to stay ;p More importantly, for me traveling is not about seeing a lot of buildings and drive as many miles as possible, but about expanding horizons, discovering other ways of life and connecting with people who live far away. And what better way of getting to know you than crushing on your couch? :D

I would appreciate it if you have time to show me the place you live in and/or to hang out somewhere. If you're not (because work, school, not in the mood), that's fine too. I'm quite independent and I also like to discover places on my own ;)

Interests

Lots of interests! Books, movies, (classical) music, (vegetarian) food and cooking. I can talk endlessly about philosophy and world issues, but also fantasy, sci-fy and games. I love nature and animals, being outside, swimming and hiking. I'm in for all sorts of 'going out', whether it is a playlet, festival, nightclub or pub
