There is a saying: “A journey is best measured in friends, rather than miles.” Yes, it’s incredibly cheesy, but I’m in love with any sort of cheese so I don’t care 🌝

But yeah, that's what I want to achieve, when going on a journey - making friends and enjoying every single moment. I’m your new social mate who is absurdly idiotic when it comes to dogs, possible being one myself. I also love to talk about whatever subject comes to mind: asking questions is my way of gaining knowledge.

I am from Leiden, Netherlands, and always looking for some new connection, experience or way of life.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

(Most) students are poor, couchsurfing is not expensive, but most of all, I want to make the saying above come true: learning new people and experience not only the tourism side of a city, but also the secret non-touristic parts of life in a city. If I can, I’ll show you my favourite places; if you can, show me yours!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

You have to ask me about how a game of ‘what are the odds’ ended up in going to a three-day festival and hitchhiking about 800kms in under 10 hours. It’s a good story, I promise ;)
