Hi! I am currently cycling from Utrecht, the Netherlands to Morocco and looking for people to meet with and places to stay at along the way. I am a calm, but social person. I care about the environment and generally making the world a slightly better place. Otherwise I'm into yoga, meditation, long talks and now seeing the world from my bicycle saddle!

Why I'm on Couchsurfing
I prefer not to stay in hotels and AirBnbs all the time and I love the fact that there are communities of people willing to help travellers without wanting anything financial in return. This spirit of solidarity and hospitality is something we need way more of in this world! But besides that, Couchsurfing is in my experience one of the quickest ways to meet locals and get a real feel for the places you're visiting.
Music, Movies, and Books
If you're into history and feminism, you gotta read Caliban and the Witch. The book changed the way I see the world.
One Amazing Thing I've Done
I lived and studied in South Africa for some years, that was pretty cool. Also hitch-hiked around Europe a bit.
What I Can Share With Hosts
Great company and hopefully some good talks (if you're into that). Also, I'm not a bad cook.
My Interests
Cycling, hiking, climbing, reading, volunteering, environmentalism, politics, history, nature, and probably much more.
