About Me

ABOUT ME

Hi! I'm an 21 year old girl living in Utrecht. I'm a student which means that I'm very flexible to show you around. I like to go to concerts, see a movie, drink beers in a cafe... I'm into a lot of things except dancing in clubs (I am quite boring...) But if you'd like to see some clubs (I've hardly seen any yet since I live here...), I can hook you up with some friends who would like to take you with them.

PHILOSOPHY

People say I always have an opinion about everything. But now I can't think of anything to say...

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Last year I've been to Australia for three months and I've slept on a lot of couches! Some were very cosy and some weren't at all but I guess that's part of the adventure... Now it's my time to do something back to all the couchsurfers who'd like to visit Utrecht!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've spent a lot of nights on couches in Australia. All the people from couchsurfing I've stayed with were wonderful. It was a new dimension to my trip!

Interests

I like: Cheese, cycling, sleeping, walking, eating, snow, the sea, reading, watching bad series like Sex and the City, ketchup, my boyfriend's beard, taking a bath, goats, coffee, clouds.

I don't like: the dentist, to get robbed, getting up before 8 AM (but I have to way too often).

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I walked the Overland Track in Tasmania, one of the most significant walks of the whole world (it was very exhausting, I'm glad it's over) And it was beautiful!!

And swimming with seals in the bay of Melbourne was also amazing!

Teach, Learn, Share

I know a lot of things you might want to learn. For example:

-the typical Dutch 'gg' sound
-What to do when you spill red wine over your clothes (dap with white wine)
-How to bake pancakes
