Hi, my name is Tessa, I'm 25 years old and curious about exploring new places in the world. This year, I'm going on a trip to the USA with my boyfriend, Edwin, because my sister is participating in the world championship lacrosse and we are planning to surprise her and watch the games (while also exploring part of the country). Edwin and I love to be active and outdoors, for example road biking, mountain biking (yes, in the Netherlands we also call it mountainbiking..), running and skating. We also just started bouldering, which I love as well! Next to that love wandering, hiking in nature. But after all the activeness, it's time for a beer, a dance and enjoying good company. I love playing games as well! Can you teach me a new one?

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

As part of the travels, I love to explore new cultures. Also lived for a couple of months in south Africa where I lived with locals that taught me so much about the country. Were seeking to meet up, but also explore the cities and environment by ourselves as well.
