About Me

23 year old bike enthusiast who loves to cycle long-distance trips. Besides biking I enjoy reading books, drawing, photography and discovering beer/wine/good food. Amsterdam-based and currently working two jobs, which I both adore. Also in my last year of studying exercise therapy at the HvA.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'd like to meet new people and plan on travelling to Paris by bike this summer, hoping to be able to find people and a place to sleep in the cities that I pass!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Lived in Cape-Verde (Africa) for 3 months to do a project for my minor, which was a phenomenal experience. Besides working on the actual project I've visited two other islands during my stay, learned how to kite-surf, hiked, snorkeled, joined in for Sunday barbecues with the local people.

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm fairly skilled in repairing and maintaining bikes, which is a useful skill to either teach or help people with. I'd like to learn more about traveling, drawing and philosophy.

What I Can Share with Hosts

My experience and ambition to travel, since I've only been doing this for such a short time (in my opinion). I'm always happy to share and discover new music. I also really enjoy going out with someone to take pictures (I myself shoot analog with an ancient SLR). And of course, I enjoy beer.
