Hi There,

I am Andrea from the Netherlands. I'm a typical Dutch person: A cheese addict and 1.83 cm tall. I currently live in Gent, Belgium for my second Bachelor's degree in Social Work.

I'm a creative person in many ways. I like to make illustrations, jewelery, I play a little bit guitar and I love to sing (especialy when nobody is around;)). I'm also very interested in photography and the Swedish language. I'm a cat and dog lover, tea and coffeedrinker, vegetarian and I love (dancing on) music and gin-tonics :)

I love to write articles and teach young people about all aspects of self-cultivation and to philosophise about life. In my free time I like to read books about our human brain and psychology. That's an allround description about my personality and interests in an allready not-so-tiny nutshell.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Since my trip to Portugal and getting hosted, I really fell in love with the concept of couchsurfing. In my hometown, Gent, I would love to guide people around the city. So If you're looking for a person to guide you around, show you some nice places of Ghent, just let me know! :) Maybe I have some time for you!
