Hi! I'm Daniëlle, from Maastricht, the south of the Netherlands. I was born in America and have an Indonesian dad, so a little atypical. My profession is physical therapy. Currently also studying to become an osteopath.

I've traveled quite a lot the past few years. Now still some good holidays, but settled and working. Living in the absolute city centre of Maastricht together with by boyfriend. His name is Niek, he is a primary school teacher.

For other questions or anything else, please feel free to contact me!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I just heard about couchsurfing some time ago, from a fellow traveler. It sounded as a great opportunity to meet new people.

Interests

It's hard to put all my interests here, because there are a lot. Always open for new experiences.

• dancing
• wine
• scuba diving
• food
• humans
• physiotherapy
• going out with friends
• aerial acrobatics
• health and fitness
• osteopathy

Music, Movies, and Books

Big love for golden oldies (both music and movies). I do like literature, and try to read a broad spectrum of genres: but somehow I very often end up with thrillers.

Teach, Learn, Share

I know some about a lot of (unexpected) things, but i have a deep interest in the human body. So I have a lot to share about that.

What I Can Share with Hosts

A lot of enthousiasm and interest. Nice conversations in English (or Dutch obviously), a little less good conversations in German.
