Hi! My name is Willeke, I'm 25 years old and living in Utrecht. I'm a part time primary school teacher, part time Master's student Educational Sciences. I'm passionate about sustainability and education (especially the combination), playing sports (mostly squash/volleyball/climbing, but also water sports or hiking or just anything active), meeting up with friends or new people, and going on as many trips as I can around Europe.
I have the most terrible sense of direction, but the upside is that any city still holds a lot of surprises for me, even my hometown Utrecht. And you can't really get lost if you don't care where you are, right?

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To meet new friends (nothing romantic).
