Hiii there! My name is Iris, I am a software developer based in Amsterdam. I love nature, sports (running, hiking, gym, cycling, horse riding, surfing and well.. open to any sports really!!), photography, drawing, having meaningful conversations about life, exploring new cultures and seeing what aspects I could bring back home to make the world a bit prettier!

Por qué estoy en Couchsurfing

Meeting new people, having interesting conversations, learning from other people and cultures, get inspired and hopefully inspiring others.

Intereses

Sports (as should be clear by now hehehe) and the peace and healing powers of nature.

Música, películas y libros

Favorite band: Placebo
Book: A guide to the good life - the ancient art of stoic joy (William B Irvine). An interesting read on how to apply the ancient Greek philosophy of Stoicism to your own life. On appreciating what we have instead of always seeking for more; focusing on things that are within our control instead of on externals like validation of others.
Movies: I tend to fall asleep during movies, haha. :'-) I love psychological thrillers like Gone Girl.
