Why I’m on Couchsurfing

i'm on couchsurfing because when traveling, i wanna experience the city like a local. i mean, sure, hotels are fun... but do you REALLY experience what it is like to live in a certain place that way? nah.

would love to meet new people from all over the world, connect and experience different cultures.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

about a year and a half ago, i moved all the way across the world by myself. still pretty proud that i dared to take that risk. boy, has it paid off though! 🍎 for instance, i managed to meet (albeit very briefly) both the former and current president within the first 6 months of having moved here!

Teach, Learn, Share

will happily teach you dutch 101 (including, but not limited to, the language, culture, politics and fun facts. will bring dutch food, too. don't worry.)

as far as learning goes – i am 100% open to try anything new because, you know, when life get's crazy, roll with it.
