My name is Tess, I'm 19 years old and I'm from the Netherlands. I live in a nice home with my mom, dad and little sister. After traveling this year I intend to study psychology on the Radboud University Nijmegen, in the Netherlands. By then I'll be living on my own. I like meeting new people, especially in different countries: I love different cultures. I need my time to get comfortable in new situations, but I love exploring and learning (about) new things.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

It seems like a fun way of traveling: meeting cool people while helping each other out.

Interests

I love traveling, good food, exploring, photography, long boarding, writing, reading, learning about new things, and music. Oh, and I adore dogs.
