Ola,

My name is Jelle, I'm from The Netherlands.
I' m a open minded person first of all, and I'm in between extroverted and introverted I guess. I aspire to be a kind person, which I am in general (I think), and I'm also really bad with writing stuff about myself on things like this😅

I recently moved to Lisboa for my new job and I can't wait to explore the city! I'd love to meet lots of people here and go out to have a good time!

Back in The Netherlands I used to work in sales and promotion, and also in professional hospitality.
As for studying, I'm taking a gap year (or 2🙈) and I studied Japanese in Tokyo for a while.
I also studied fashion design, jewelry design, graphic design and pairing food and wine in Firenze.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I really want to make new friends that I can grab a grab a drink with or just for walking around the city and eating out together somewhere.

Interests

I love to go out with friends and go clubbing or just getting a drink somewhere, I also like reading a lot. Netflix is a must (how basic I know😭) I also like coffee a lot☕️
Traveling for me is a necessity, exploring different cultures and meeting different people who all think in a different, yet interestingly enough, similar way.

Music, Movies, and Books

I like lots of music actually, from rock to Jazz to trap and house🎶
Movies that I watch are usually kinda sci-fi supernatural ish but I really enjoy movies in general if they force you to use your brain to understand what's happening and to discover all the different layers of a story🍿
The same I have with books as I have with movies actually. I really enjoy reading Stephen King and Murakami📚

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Getting to see lots of interesting countries and meeting amazing people, sounds generic but it's true.

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm a fluent speaker of Dutch and English so if anyone is up for learning Dutch or English I'd be glad to help 🤗

What I Can Share with Hosts

Genuine interest, fun times, Dutch and English, Dutch cooking, and maybe even a good conversation, good vibes, a fun night out (or in)
