Hi there,

I am Sonia, a Dutch girl living in Utrecht. I graduated from the Utrecht School Of Arts last June and I'm working as a freelance photographer and visual artist now. www.sonialaan.nl

I enjoy living a very free and open live. I love to travel, my passion for surfing and photography has taken me to some of the most beautiful places on earth and I would love to discover more! Check out my tumblr if you would like to check my travel pictures: http://dontchangethefuture.tumblr.com/

I live in a neighbourhood called Kanaleneiland. It's a 10 minute tram ride away from the city centre and a great place to live. I share a nice 2 storey apartment with two other girls. We have a cosy big living room and a garden that's amazing to hang out in during summertime. We have plenty of space so if you bring a sleeping bag we can host up to 4 people at the same time.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love travel more and meet new people!
