I’ve studied, worked, and lived in a few countries and enjoy visiting cities through local eyes. Respectful, clean, and independent as a guest; as a host (in the future) I’ll treat people the same way I like to be treated.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To meet people, exchange cultures, practice languages (Dutch/German), and share travel tips. I believe the best memories come from human connections rather than checklists.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Worked full-time while earning 2 degrees across two countries at the same time - lots of libraries, and determination.

Teach, Learn, Share

Learn: Dutch/German phrases, local cooking, hidden spots in your city

Share: playlists, travel stories, and great coffee/restaurant spots

What I Can Share with Hosts

Respect for house rules, help in the kitchen (authentic Chinese home dishes), a tidy common space, and help planning walks or day trips. I’m very happy to take photos and swap language practice.
