I am passionate about learning and understanding the world and its complexity. I cannot go a day without thinking and learning more about climate change, so that's for now just a big part of what I do. I love getting to know new people and especially learning more about their views of the world. There is so much I don't know yet, so always willing to learn.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I think I love travelling so much because it helps me understand better how the world works and how there are so many different sides to every story. I believe that meeting a local can add a lot to the experience of visiting a place you don't know yet. When I am in the Netherlands I am happy to show you around, although I'm often rather busy..

Interests

I enjoy being in nature and I am into different kinds of sports like rock climbing, swimming, dancing and yoga.

I have a bachelor's degree in Liberal Arts and Sciences, a Physics master's with a track in Sustainability, and am now working in the field of climate science.
