SORRY! Not in Amsterdam until June! :)

Hi there! I am Isabelle, I am 22 years old and I am in my fourth year of Medical School. I study in Amsterdam, which is probably the most beautiful place on earth to live. I like to think of myself as a really friendly, caring and easy-going type. I make friends really easily and love to make new friends, explore new cities and discover a new culture. I like people and pets and pizza and sunsets and books and movies and summer and winter: I pretty much like everything as I am a very happy person.

When I'm not studying I like to go out with my friends to the movies, concerts, parties or the park, or just stay at home and chill. In the weekends I visit my amazing family a lot (which is including my dog Maggy and my cat Saartje) or just stay in bed the entire day. I am a big fan of almost all tv-shows and can watch them all day long with a pizza and some tea.

I live in Amsterdam in de Pijp, which is the best place to be. Lots of little cafe's, beautiful parks and every shop you need. I love to go out for breakfast/brunch here, it is something I'd recommend to anyone. I love showing my hometown to people and know a lot of great spots.

I really like to travel, as you can see in my pictures. I have been to a lot of great places of which Australia was the most amazing, but also in Europa there is a lot of beauty, for example in Barcelona, London, Paris, Budapest, Venice, Verona.. I can go on and on!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

This november I am coming to Toronto to do research at the hospital for sick children. I am really looking forward to this and I hope to meet a lot of people to hang out with, enjoy my evenings with or to make trips in my weekends with! :) If you want this to: let me know! :)

Interests

I like pretty much everything if you are enthusiastic about it so take me doing everything you like!

Please take me outside, I love hiking, swimming, canoeing and make beautiful photo's of nature.

Please take me somewhere, take me to a musical (LOVE THEM), a concert or a movie. Take me shopping or pooling.

Please let me stay in with you, We will watch a Disney/Harry Potter/Princess Diaries/Lord of the Rings marathon and I will bake you cookies and pizza.

Music, Movies, and Books

I listen to pretty much everything as I still can not decide my favorite singer or band. A big thanks to spotify with its many random playlists.

I am a big sucker for romantic movies but I am very wide-minded: you'll make me happy with a war-movie, arthouse or thriller as well! I don't watch things with ghosts though, they freak me out!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

In Australia I worked on a farm and one day we just rode out on our horses for hours and saw the sun set behind the mountains and I just remember being really happy galloping through the hills with a pink sky above. But I did a lot of amazing things, this is just the first thing that comes to mind!

Teach, Learn, Share

I don't really know what to put here but I am willing to teach you everything I know, learn all you have to teach and share all of my hopes and dreams!

I can share my gratitude, happiness, stories, and my little experience of life with you. I want to learn all about your city and I will teach you to make the best Dutch Apple Pie, I can teach you CPR and a lot of medical stuff and if you fall of a cliff when we are hiking I think I can keep you alive until the paramedics arrive.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I love to talk and do things together: with me you will not get bored as I will just keep on talking. I would love it to explore your city with you, I will follow you everywhere you guide me! Please let me see as much as possible and I will give you a really happy Isabelle in return! :)

Also I love to cook, I am a good cleaner but most of all I think I am a fun person to be with and I hope you will feel the same way about this!
