Hi there!

Ever since high school all I really wanted was to work in order to be able to travel and see the world. After my BA degree in Graphic Design I finally took the opportunity to do so and went to Southeast Asia. During my travels I got inspired by many different cultures and diverse backgrounds, while hearing about some great memories and experiences people had in California. As soon as I got back to Holland I dearly wanted one thing: Find a job that I enjoy, save up money and buy that ticket! I stayed for over two months working in a hostel in San Francisco and San Diego.

I'd describe myself as a grounded, easily enthousiastic and go with the flow kind of person.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I definitely would love to host guests and travelers – whenever I am able to.
