I live in Amsterdam and absolutely love the city, and was living in Istanbul last year for 5 months. I recently graduated in English language and culture and am currently translating a children's book. I love to be able to work from my laptop as it gives me the freedom to travel! Besides the translation work I love spinning records and collecting them.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I have couchsurfed in both Paris and Barcelona, with my good friend and fellow traveler Lara Verheijden. Both experiences were completely different but super fun.

Music, Movies, and Books

I am obsessed with music and collect records. I love disco, house, soul, funk, hiphop, uk garage, and italo disco, but I can also appreciate some nice jimi hendrix, the kills, or beethoven.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Moving to Istanbul is probably the best thing I've ever done in my life. It is my favourite city in the world, full of mystery, super welcoming people, good food, crazy traffic, awesome hidden bars, spontaneity and weird coinsidences.

Teach, Learn, Share

'De liefde hoef je niet op te roepen, zij is er gewoon en hoeft alleen maar te worden waargenomen.'

What I Can Share with Hosts

My good taste and love for music, some cooking skills, we can talk about serious stuff like spirituality and environmental issues or just blat about fashion, tv shows or whatever you're into. I can tell you about the things I've learned on my travels and tell you about weird Dutch traditions! I can also teach you English or Dutch or review any texts you might have.
