About Me

Currently a student in Saint Petersburg for an exchange. You could define me as an extravert person who gets energy from being with other people. I can't stay too long in the same place because I need to feel other atmospheres as well. I like to go out, learn new things, meet new people and do new things.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Because travelling should not be a matter of having the money for it or not. And it's a good way to meet local people. --> This is actually my statement from 3 years ago, but I quite like it.

Back when I was travelling in China I made a couchsurfing account and haven't opened it since. I did it once there and it was quite an interesting and fun experience. Right now I'm combining the need to go to Finland because of getting a new visa, meeting people I've met on exchange and saving on money because I'm going to travel through Russia and Central-Asia afterwards!

Interests

Music, I can't live without music. My interest in matters is very diverse. So in every subject I can find something interesting and will try to deepen on the subject a lot.
Cooking has become a big interest for me and if everything with my study won't work out I'll always have a back up plan and start a restaurant.

Music, Movies, and Books

Hip-hop, jazz, acid jazz, pop, classics, nederhop, drum&bass, techno, deephouse, oldskool house. Basically everything that's good in my opinion.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Climbed on Hua Shan and walked on the Death leap, talking about conquering your feir of heights!

Teach, Learn, Share

I really want to learn more about the culture of other people. And everything that I find interesting I remember very easy and I want to discuss that with other people too. I like talking about everything , but I can also have my moments where I'm quite and just think.
