CURRENT MISSION

Enjoying my travels in India this summer!

ABOUT ME

My name is Anna, I'm 22 years old and I live in Amsterdam. I've lived here all my life, and I travelled a lot. I'm interested in other cultures and languages, and especially in meeting people from other countries.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'm new on Couch Surfing and have used it only once when I went to Northern Germany, but I would love to participate more often!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I used Couch Surfing on a trip to Northern Germany, together with my friend Ruth.

Interests

I'm interested in history, especially the history of Eastern Europe and Russia. I've lived in Russia and find that country especially very interesting. I love reading and am often found with an oldfashioned novel on the couch. I love films and music, both actually of any kind. I like hanging out with friends and finding new interesting places to eat, go out etc.
