Hi couch surfers!

You can find me in the lovely city Nijmegen, with its blooming art and culture, its many cafés, its nice natural surroundings (many parks and a lovely beach), and sort of leftist political atmosphere. The fact that I was born here and that I love to still live here says a lot about me I think. I am a sociable young lady that is enthusiastic about art and culture (but also science), who enjoys being in nature, cooking, writing and performing poetry, having good deep talks, dancing and travelling. But I will always come back to Nijmegen :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am on Couchsurfing because I enjoy meeting people from all over the world. I love to be host as much as being a traveller. Couchsurfing makes travelling more of an adventure, which is cool!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've co-hosted an exhibition about street art and graffiti (which is the topic of my master's thesis), where many people, young and old, visited. The exhibition had many side projects, such as a poetry evening, a city street art tour in Nijmegen, a child's afternoon where one could learn serigraphs, a dance evening and so on. Many graffiti artists exhibited their work and I am really proud to have helped set this up and I filled a room with all sorts of information about graffiti and street art in Nijmegen. It was interactive and inspiring, if I may say so.

Teach, Learn, Share

Every day is another chance to teach, learn and share. I am a very curious person and I also love to pass on my knowledge and skills.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Depends on what the host is interested in. But for example: recipes, music, good deep talks, walks in nature, a beer from my town. I bring a happy and curious spirit with me wherever I go :)

If you stay in my home, you should know that it is a home where four other people live (one of them is my boyfriend). We have a nice garden and a black cat called Baco. It is possible to sleep on one of the couches we have, or on a matrass or an airbed. I live near a big park and I know many cool places and events in my hometown ;)
