Hello, hello! My name is Pauline.
I'm a 26-year old Dutchie, living in Rotterdam. At the moment, I am traveling the north of the USA. I've been a big lover of couchsurfing and would love to get to know locals and share stories, food, anekdotes and views on life.

About me: I am an artist-designer-sociologist, confused about which title I should be going for while embarking on my freelance-activities. I'm really into politics and activism (I'm a member of three political parties back home, oops), reading, literature, the lyrics in music, feminism and all inclusive-queer-progressive movements generally. Swimming, bread and biking are the things that make me happiest. I get very confused by fahrenheit, feet and inches Just stop it already, Americah.

Anyway, I love-love-love meeting with and talking to strangers, anywhere, anytime. I can share good food, crazy Sociology facts, a bunch of unnecessary information about biking and a whole lot of jokes. If you need some help in or around the house, I'd be happy to give a hand (I'm also a huge WorkAway-lover).

Big fan of kindness. Very open to a wide variety of philosophies.

Warum ich bei Couchsurfing bin

I have a couch so it better be used to its full potential. ;-)
(and it's awesome).

Musik, Filme und Bücher

I have a blind spot for music, which is compensated by the amount of books I like to read. I'd be happy to share my recommendations. Tip of the veil: anything by Ngozi Adichie! And A Little Life. But you will cry like a baby (or that's what I did).

Eine tolle Erfahrung, die ich gemacht habe

I made a bread suit once and got attacked by hundreds of pigeons, sitting on the main square of Amsterdam. I also tried to cancel the year 2020 but that didn't really work out.

Was ich mit Gastgebern teilen kann

Two ears that like to listen while trying to make you feel at home in the GrEaT CiTy of Rotterdam. And food! Stroopwafels, anyone?
