I love to meet people,

Hi, I'm Pauline. I currently live in amsterdam and work here as a photojournalist for a newspaper.
I love meeting new people, that's why I think I became a photographer.
Before this I was a fine art painter. Also nice. :-)
I live in a shared apartment with two roommates. There I have a room of 7m2. Especially the housemates ensure that I can't host people myself at the moment. Unfortunately. But I enjoy having a drink in the city or giving you tips for your trip.
I hope to one day have my own house that I can renovate myself and arrange according to my wishes with space to invite people again.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Interests

Art, Photography, Books, Movies, Nature, Hiking, Camping, Adventure,

Actually, I am not a city person at all and I really like the countryside and everything nature has to offer. Trees are beautiful and I like to eat directly from nature, mushrooms, fruit, elderflower and berry syrup, wild garlic, etc.
I would like to buy a van to live in and travel with. Some years ago I lived in Sweden in a caravan for a year, and I made a photo project about it that can be seen on my website. I have an old-timer that I maintain myself as well as possible, a 2cv.
My time is mostly spent working and seeing friends and family, running, doing yoga and pilates. I also like to make things. art, sewing clothes, baking cakes, odd jobs.
