CURRENT MISSION

gathering as much British culture as possible!

ABOUT ME

I'm an 18 year old student originally from the Netherlands, but studying in the UK. My subject of study is biology but I will switch to Computer Science in september. I would like to see more of the UK, I've never been south of Sheffield!

PHILOSOPHY

My personal philosophy is to treat others as I would like to be treated, has worked fine for me so far!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I would love to show people around Sheffield or answer any questions about the Netherlands, since I'm from there. I don't live there currently but I can give you advice about places to go and things to see.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

None, but I hope I will get many nice experiences!
