CURRENT MISSION

Moving to Dublin!

ABOUT ME

We currently live in Brussels, close to the heart of EU-politics. Unfortunately our cramped up 14 sqm2 room does not really allow us to host couchsurfers at the moment, but hopefully that will change as soon as we move to Dublin! Alessandra just found a job as cognitive psychologist at Trinity college, Dublin. Maarten will finish his traineeship for the EU in mid february, and once thats done we will move to Dublin and start our lives there. Ofcourse we are terribly excited. We both have a deeply rooted love for Ireland, its nature and its people (and at least one of us likes Guinness, which is more than you can say of most continental european couples:-).

Without boasting too much, we think we are quite an easy-going couple. We're very easy going, independent and open minded and hope to meet people living interesting lives via couchsurfing!

Sometimes you eat the bear, and, well, sometimes the bear eats you
