I'm a girl with a big love for France, and decided I wanted to explore the overseas region of France this summer. I love hiking, playing the piano, swimming and freestyle kayaking.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I've been on Reunion Island for five weeks already, and will leave Mauritius to stay on Reunion for another 3 days. For the 29th and 30th I'm looking for people to either climb Piton des Neiges or visit the thermobassins de Cilaos with!! Hit me up, folks :)
----------
The 31st I'll be in Paris. if anyone wants to grab a drink that evening, send me a message!
----------
I would love to meet kind hearted travel companions that love these islands just as much as I do, and want to visit beaches, explore hiking trails and discover the cascades together!
I'm travelling on a fairly small budget, so I'm looking for couchsurfing hosts, preferably the adventurous type who'd like to tell me all about the nature on these islands.
If you're up for an adventure, or if you have a place for me to stay, please don't hesitate and send me a message!

Interests

Nature - the main reason I started travelling is because I love nature. The Netherlands is a beautiful country, but we don't have mountains, so I leave at least once a year to visit the mountains.

Medicine - next year I'm going to study medicine and I CAN'T WAIT.

Poetry - Used to participate in poetry contests, and my bedroom wall is full of poems that mean a lot to me.

Art - I make art. From pencil sketches to graffiti, from photo collages to installations. Probably the weirdest thing I made was a clay alien fetus in a test tube, with a gas mask from the first world war attached to a moss planet with mutated dinosaur toys.

Acting - went to acting school and te Dutch may or may not have seen me on tv haha

Languages - I love to learn new languages. I'm currently learning Icelandic though I still suck at it.

Psychiatry & neuroscience - I'm endlessly mesmerized by the human brain. I read a lot about these subjects an hope one day I'll be a psychiatrist.

Also I'm always observing people, but don't worry, usually it's just me noticing and thinking about little quirks that I like about you.

Music, Movies, and Books

I like all sorts of music, ranging from Bon Iver to Marilyn Manson.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I have made somersaults with a freestyle kayak in whitewater.
And the two day hike in Mafate.. it really changed my soul.
Edit: jumped from the Tamarin Falls on Mauritius!!
