As you hopefully can see from my pictures I'm an quite active girl who loves to be in the outdoors. I play football (since a few months, so I'm an absolute beginner and desperately in need for some good advice), practice Pole Fitness, love yoga, walking and cycling (especially mountainbiking). Of course I'm not always active and outside, I love to lay on the couch and read a good book, besides I'm a big filmlover.

Besides my sparetime I study humanistic studies, I'm in the third year of my masters' right now so I'll start writing my master-thesis soon. I'm really interested in psychology, philosophy and all the different religions that exist.

I think cows are (besides my cute dog) the most cutest animals on earth (look at those eyes!) and camels are the most funny ones. So if you hide a camel somewhere, do let me know!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'd love to go on adventures.
With adventures I don't mean great journeys to countries far far away, no for me an adventure can be anywhere and with anyone. Adventures can find place in the forest close to your own city, or in a street you always travel through but suddenly discover something now in. Adventures also include meeting new people, talking with them instead of ignoring them, listen to their stories.
An adventure isn't a place you go to, an adventure is the way you look at things, with your eyes and hearth wide open, you're the adventure yourself!
