ABOUT ME

I am from the Netherlands and I am currently a postdoc in biology at the University of California Berkeley

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love meeting people from different places, cultures, and languages. I'd like the idea of a shared economy that is ultimately based on trust. That's why I find Couchsurfing so appealing as an alternative to hotels.

Interests

I enjoy biking, jazz music, rock climbing, nature walks, salsa/samba dancing, discussing science & politics, world music, programming, skydiving, shaded organic coffee, food coops, farmer markets, sustainable energy, and of course soccer (Holland!!). I also love practicing languages!
