After living in Amsterdam for ten years, I left the Netherlands May 2017 to travel 1 year. I traveled Asia, New Zealand and USA. Now I am living in Leeuwarden where I start studying BSc. Coastal and Marine management.

If you make a request to stay with me, please make sure your profile shows some personal information and make sure that you have at least 1 full body picture and 1 picture where you smile.

I will host people on their journey. I don't accept 'bookings requests months in advanced' for people who are not traveling yet.

I have an office where I can put a (or two) matress on the floor. As guests you'll have your own space.

Begin your request with the word 'stroopwafels'.

Por qué estoy en Couchsurfing

To help travelers on their journey and get tips from locals on my way. To make connection, tell stories and listen to people's stories.

Intereses

I play guitar and like to sing. I like to go out: stand up paddle boarding, climbing, sailing, hiking and windsurfing.

I'm very curious and like te hear about other people's stories.
