Hi !

My name is Elske and I just moved back to Rotterdam where I have lived for quite some time during my study. If I had enough of the big city life I returned to Nuenen, a village in the south of Holland where I was born and where my parents and sisters currently live. I graduated my study in neurobiology in Amsterdam, so I have crossed the whole country. Maybe not that far for some of you, but for Dutch standards.. I value 'gezelligheid'. Unfortunately, there is no direct translation that fully covers that word. Anyway, it involves that my family and friends mean a lot to me. Whether we go shopping, having a glass of wine, going to a festival, playing a card game, or cooking together, I really enjoy their company. I appreciate the little things in life. A colourful sky or the smell of homemade bread. I always fantasize about running a Bed & Breakfast. Greece is one of my favourite countries but I have always dreamed of Argentina. Last year I finally followed that dream!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am really curious about your lives, stories, habits and favourites! I am really looking forward to spend some time with people, having a good time, and learn about the region you live in. Going out together and discovering the ins and outs as a local and not just the touristic stuff.. (:
