About Me

Law and Liberal Arts & Sciences student situated in the Hague, just finished living on campus for two years and finally found my own place! Born and raised in the south of the Netherlands. Crappy singer and guitar player, but enjoying making music nonetheless. Hopeless at doing laundry or dishes, pretty decent at waiting tables and drinking games. Pretty new to couch surfing, so practically no references, but you can always check out my Facebook-profile if that helps you think I'm more legit: https://www.facebook.com/sil.lavie.1

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm travelling now and then and I've had pretty good experiences this far crashing on couches in South Africa, so might use CS again in the future :)

Interests

Traveling, law, politics, development, playing guitar, singing, writing, poetry, dancing, people, cultural stuff, art.

Music, Movies, and Books

Everything arty and pretentious. Everything that tries too hard not to be arty and pretentious. Mood-dependent really. I can watch the entire Hannibal trilogy and count the bodies while at it. Allergic to American rom-coms.
I have watched more series than I can count (latest favourites are Penny Dreadful, House of Cards, Game of Thrones and Orange is the new Black). I listen to everything, from easy jazzy sounds to techno/deephouse to rock, you name it.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I have hitch-hiked across Europe.. to Barcelona, Slovenia (Ljubljana) and Lithuania (Vilnius) in hitch-hike competitions (which I also organised, at least the last edition). Also, I have bungee-jumped in Hungary, at Balaton Sound Festival, which was pretty awesome :) Most amazing was last summer's solo backpacking trip through South Africa, amazing stories.

Teach, Learn, Share

I'd rather be your shot of whiskey, than anyone's cup of tea. I'd like to be someone who can look back at her life in 60 years and see a landscape of crazy experiences. Someone that was rather sorry than safe. Someone that chose being alive over comfort and safety.
