Hi there! My name is Anne; a friendly, open, reflective and happy-to-help animal-lover and psychologist :) I love getting to know new people and stepping outside my comfort zone to develop myself and broaden my horizon.

I work as a psychologist and I am trying to start my own practice, which is new and scary but also super cool and exciting! Besides trying to help people through difficult emotions or behavioral patterns, I love making music (singing, playing guitar and trying to compose my own songs), cooking vegan food, meeting up with friends and reflecting on myself. Also, I really want to improve my Spanish, which I try to do by listening to audiobooks and watching Spanish movies/series.

Hi! I am Yorick (26). I am calm, curious about others, and I love to learn new things. The motto 'Seek Discomfort' by Yes Theory inspires me to seek adventure and new experiences. I am passionate about entrepreneurship, learning new things, philosophy, and AI.

I am working on my startup with a co-founder. We do search for publishers and SEO text generation. All of it is powered by AI, which I love working on. This is for sure the hardest thing I have worked on.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Sharing amazing experiences with people from other backgrounds and getting to know their culture! We like getting to know people with different perspectives/beliefs and having interesting conversations with them.

Also we try to be environmentally friendly, which means travelling by train instead of airplane (which is pretty costly). Combining that with couchsurfing helps making it possible :)

Music, Movies, and Books

I mostly listen to pop, indie, folk, rock or country music. Regarding books, I am a big fan of Harry Potter. As I've read Harry Potter so many times it's perfect for learning new languages! Additionally, I loved The Martian (also the movie) and De Onschuldige Gevangene. I'm currently reading The Body Keeps the Score and Utopia Avenue.
