Overview
About Me
Hi there!
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
I would like to meet other people, hang out, exchange stories and have fun!
Interests
I grew up in the 'River area' of the Netherlands. Even since I was very small, I had a passion for water and a lot of stuff that has to do with it. I like swimming, I'm now learning how to sail and I want to specialize myelf in maritime archaeology.
Besides that, I am a very passionate archaeologist, who is also interested in everything happening on land. I love walking or hiking in nature. I also like reading and writing books, dancing, gardening, cooking, and so now and then I try to play the guitar (help requested ;) ) Moreover, I also like to go out and have fun with other people and friends, whether at a bar or at the beach!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
Since I'm specializing in Caribbean archaeology, I have been there a few times now for fieldwork. In a total of 5 months, I have experienced how amazing it is to work in the middle of nowhere, digging for pre-Columbian settelements. People always ask me; 'Why do you excavate there, there is nothing to see?' And that is not true! Together with local people we unravel mysteries of the past and rewrite the stories of the indigenous island inhabitants who predated or met Columbus. How awesome is that? Besides that, there is so much more to discover!
I would recommend everyone to go and see the Caribbean, in her wide variety of languages, cultures, music and tastes!
