ABOUT ME

I live in Nijmegen, the Netherlands. I really like music and art and am up to meet people from all over the world.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Currently I live close to the city center in Nijmegen in a house shared with other students. I only have a couch (literally) to offer, but enough space to put an inflatable mattress in my room (I only have a really crappy one though). Overall, I love to meet up with people from other countries.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I couchsurfed three times, in Zaragoza and Madrid in Spain, and in Riga in Latvia. I really enjoyed these experiences and meeting local people! It adds a lot more to your traveling experience than a hotel or hostel.
