About Me

ABOUT ME
Hello,
Dutch but living in Austria. Lived in Colombia for the last two and a half years.
I started studying anthropology and sociology because the world in all it diversity, colours, smell, tastes, feelings facinated me. After my studies I spent one and a half years traveling and getting first-hand experiences with regards to the world. I then lived in Colombia for two and a half years, and now I live in Vienna.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Music, Movies, and Books

Loads of them, to start! I read the Wheel of Time book series, which I loved, and I am generally quite geeky in my tastes. That being said, that doesn't exclude other tastes, as I want to experience it all.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Night diving in Bonaire with bioluminescent algae, making it look as if I was swimming in a sea of stars. Also, skydiving.

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm an English teacher, if anyone wants a class. I also speak Dutch, German and Spanish.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Getting to know me, and the Dutch Culture :) All I can offer is my experiences, and hopefully a pleasant experience hanging out with me.
