About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Learning how to surf (also literally)

TIP: Dear Couchsurfers, Utrecht is not the same city as Amsterdam. I live in Utrecht, not in Amsterdam. If you would like to see and learn more about Amsterdam it's better to find a host in Amsterdam, because I don't know that much about Amsterdam :).

ABOUT ME

I'm honest,straightforward, outgoing and driven to make the best of everything! I love travelling, meeting different people, discovering new cultures. If I have the money (which seems difficult to realize somehow..) I'm always up for a trip somewhere. I just graduated from the master International Development Studies which also offers me the prospect of travelling. Now, I am looking for a job.
Another thing I love is music (although I don't play an instrument myself). I like going to concerts, buying cd's and dancing to music of course.
I also like to cook, so that could be a trade-off for my stay at your house!
