I've studied photography at the art academy for four years and after that I started studying at the University of Amsterdam (cultural anthropology). After 1,5 years I needed to take a break because of a burn-out and I was 'out' for 1-1,5 year. During this period I learned a lot about myself and I wanted to bring these lessons into practice. Therefor I've choosen to take a gap year from University and start to work at different places. This to give myself enough space in time (but also space in my head) to engage with myself and the things I love again. I am trying to find my connection with nature (again), starting to create after a love-hate relationship with art (because of art academy). A big part in this journey is also to meet new people and to learn from each other.

I love being outdoors, in the city or nature. Also I really enjoy inventing new vegan recipes en cooking them. Since 2 months I'm also active in animal rights activities. I can talk for hours about social and political subjects and I love to wonder about the boundaries of the universe. In my free time I'm learning to tattoo (handpoked).

Why I’m on Couchsurfing
