About Me

ABOUT ME

One of my big passions are traveling anywhere and photographing everything I come across and find interesting while traveling new places! I love all kinds of travels, whether it is a city trip so I can visit museums and eat all kinds of different and delicious new foods or going camping and being out in nature.
One of my other passions is music, I play the guitar and a bit of piano.

I've completed my bachelor in Art History, where I took an extra year to expand into all kinds of different courses such as literature, film and archaeology. Now I have also finished my master in Film & Photographic Studies in Leiden, where I'm combining my love for both! After that I completed my second master in Education, which means I am now officially an art teacher :)
Now I'm graduated I am taking some time off to travel more, especially outside Europe. At the moment I am spending year in Canada, travelling around the country, doing workaway, lots of hiking and meeting lots of new and fun people!

In my spare time I love to meet up with friends to visit different places, museums and concerts or to just talk and eat :)
Hopefully CS will help me to meet some more interesting people to do this with!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I have been on a few road trips in the USA and I've seen so much that left me awestruck!
But two moments that stand out are seeing the Horseshoe Bend in Arizona and getting a private tour in the Guggenheim Museum in New York while it was closed to the public...

Also, my solotrips in Norway and now Canada have taught me a lot about myself and my passion for travel.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I love to cook so I always like to prepare some Dutch or other food.
I can also offer an art lesson or visit a museum or gallery with my host!
