I'm a student with a love for travel. I took a gap year during my undergrad and lived in Rouen, France as an Au Pair for 9 months, followed by 2 months of backpacking around Europe with my best friend!

I've been to Oktoberfest in Munich, mountain biking in Whistler, and cliff jumping in Cinque Terre. I crave adventure and am up for absolutely anything!

I've played soccer (football) all my life and am very into anything sports. I love to have a good time and meet new people!

All of my grandparents are Dutch - so I'm all about the Dutch culture and love visiting my relatives there. Mmmmm gouda.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

It's the best way to meet locals and really get immersed into the culture!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I guess skydiving in Interlaken was pretty cool. I mean, I could barely breathe, but it was pretty darn wicked.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I've got a couple (hundred) travel stories - the good, the bad, and the ugly (find out what it was like to spend all night in a 24 hour burger king in Manchester...)

I've been everywhere except the prairies and the territories in Canada - so if you need any travel advice or would like to know more about my wonderful country just ask! :)
