I'm a Master student of European Studies at Maastricht University in the Netherlands. Originally I'm from the province of Zeeland, near the North Sea, but during my studies I used to live just across the border in Belgium, very near Maastricht. I've also spent a semester in Friedrichshafen, Germany, to improve my German.
I'm a very open-minded and liberal person, organised and straightforward. I like swimming, fitness and I'm always down for grabbing a beer in the city.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I would like to see more of Europe, especially Central and Eastern Europe, while getting to know cool people.

Music, Movies, and Books

I'm not really a reader (for instance, I wanted to start reading Game of Thrones, but then I realised it'd be faster for me to just wait for the next season to be released..), but I've watched quite a number of films. Yet my long-term memory appears to be quite bad, so I probably won't even be able to remember most of them. The Green Mile and Cloud Atlas are probably my favourite ones, but I can always appreciate a good comedy (preferably British humour).
Music-wise I'm quite easy-going. I like deephouse, but I would also call myself a Bryan Adams fan. To wake up early in the morning (like 5 AM, if really necessary) hardstyle isn't bad either if you pick the right artist.
