I am a freelance Graphic & UX/UI Designer from Rotterdam, the Netherlands, currently finishing up my degree in Communication & Multimedia Design. Whenever I get the time/chance, I love to travel and seeing different parts of the world. I always bring my trustworthy camera whenever I do so, in order to capture the beautiful memories I make as best as possible.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am relatively new to the whole "Couchsurfing" concept, but I love the idea of going to a different country and meeting new people. After all; the perfect way of experiencing and learning about a culture is by meeting the people who live it every day.

Being new to the site, I would understand any reservations to hosting me. However, I hope you'll take a chance on me! =)

Interests

Other than traveling, my biggest passion is design. The visual aspect of communicating your message, through colour, shapes, etc, is something that has always intrigued me.

Another thing I thoroughly enjoy is hiking. Whenever I travel, I look for any trails for me to conquer, because nothing clears my head like being with nature does. Despite the physical challenge hiking offers, it's the most relaxing thing in the world to me!

Music, Movies, and Books

I absolutely LOVE music and can not go a day without it. I have a very diverse taste, but my favourite bands are generally classified as Symphonic Rock. Some artists that never leave my playlist are Wolf Gang, Augustana, The Killers and The Kooks.

As for movies, my favourite genre by far is sci-fi; particularly cyber-punk. The different possibilities these movies offer for the future are intriguing, and never fail to keep my attention throughout.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've done quite some things during my travels, but one of the most memorable experiences I've had was when I moved to Manila, the Philippines, for half a year to work as an intern Graphic Designer. I got to meet a lot of people this way, learn about the culture and experience so many other great things; more so than I would by visiting as a tourist.
