I grew up in the Netherlands but I am currently living in Copenhagen for half a year. I studied product design in Delft (NL) for three years, during which I studied and lived in Canada for half a year. I'm currently taking a gap year to gain more (work) experience and I'll probably start my masters next year - or not ;) .
Last fall, I worked on a very interesting project in Detroit on affordable sustainable housing. Right now I'm working for a start-up in Copenhagen about food & sustainably. Yes I have a huge passion for sustainability. Besides that I love to travel and experience new cultures and environments and meet new people.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I enjoy traveling and meeting new people - both locals and other tourists. I'm relatively new on Couchsurfing but I'd love to experience places I visit with people who live there. I think it's a great network and it would be even more great to become an active part of it.

Music, Movies, and Books

I'm currently reading "Hidden figures" which tells the story about the African American women who helped NASA win the space race in the second half of the 20th century. It's a great book so far so I'd recommend it :)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I lived and studied in Ontario, Canada for half a year. This has been an amazing experience. I really enjoyed the Canadian culture and nature and visited several national parks and big cities. I definitely fell in love with Canada and would like to go back soon. Also to visit the West side of Canada.
