We are a 20-something international couple living and studying in Groningen, the Netherlands. Traveling has always been an important aspect of our lives and it also brought us together (and made us hijack Tuuli's profile to suit us as a couple).

Tuuli has her roots in Scandinavia and she's studying to became a psychologist. She's done quite some solo travels in Asia as well, but African cultures are closest to her heart after volunteering around Africa.

Ewout carries a Dutch nationality but has only moved to the Netherlands at an adult age after growing up around different Asian and Islamic countries. Ewout is finishing his Master's degree in Energy and Climate Law.

We're an easy-going and social couple and love to learn about local cultures. Most of all we just love to chill and have great conversations and learn to see things from different points of view.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

We want to get to know locals and learn more about their culture. While traveling, we're especially interested in local cuisines and music so we'd love if our host could hook us up with the best local restaurants and gigs. Our ideal night out involves simple spicy food, small local artists performing live music and smoking up!

Music, Movies, and Books
