Hi all! I am a 24 y/o student (Biomedical Sciences/Engineering) from the Netherlands, living in Amsterdam, who loves traveling. I strongly believe every country has something exciting to discover and want to experience as many different cultures as possible. The best way to do this is meeting new people, exchanging conversations/ideas/food/language.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I like to combine different styles of travelling, but most of them are focused on discovering the world and meeting some of the 7 billion people on our planet. I think Couchsurfing is a great platform to make this possible, by staying at various places with different people all over the world, and hosting those people back home!
