I'm of German and Dutch nationality and really discovered travelling as a passion since I did my year abroad in South Africa after high school. Since then I have studied in the Netherlands, Italy and will now soon go to England. In between I did some internships in the political/diplomatic field as well. Usually I am always interested in most topics and enjoy having long and deep conversations.I love learning languages, maybe even more than travelling itself I love deciphering some of the local language :D

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To show people my city and to get to know local people in cities that I visit, because that seems more interesting than always staying in hostels. Of course, like most people on the platform, I also really enjoy getting to know local cultures and usually have done some reading on them so I can discuss everything in detail :D
