I'm a young philosophy student from the Netherlands. I just finished my bachelor's degree and am moving to Leuven, Belgium for my master's after the summer. (I cannot host at the moment, since I'm practically without a home for the next few months!)

In 2018 I spent half a year living in Thessaloniki, Greece as part of my degree and studied Greek Classics there. I am still very fond of Greek anything and would looove to pick up where I left off when it comes to learning the language. I enjoy cooking and baking and doing so with friends/family - as long as it's vegan though!

Some other things I am interested in/love include reading autobiographies, (war) diaries, yoga, writing letters, the French and Greek language, basically just anything that has to do with the Mediterranean region, pine trees and looking at them, bus trips, developing a great idea for a paper, the Scottish Highlands, anything Holocaust-history related (this begun at a very young age), drinking wine, dancing in Amsterdam clubs, spending too much time in coffee shops, finding vegan foods in places I wouldn't expect there to be any options, cinema.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To connect with people from other cultures and learn how to cook their culture/region inspired dishes.
