ABOUT ME

Currently I’m preparing a journey through pretty much the whole of Europe by train from April 2022 onwards. I’ve been studying and working most of my life up until now and after graduating last year I’ve decided it’s time for a much-deserved break. Originally, my plan was to travel van The Netherlands to Luang Prabang (Laos) by land but unfortunately travel restrictions won’t permit me to do so.

Because of ecological reasons, I refuse to use polluting aircrafts for transportation. I thoroughly enjoy train/bus travel as it makes the journey itself interesting, rather than just the destination. Because my itinerary will be more on-the-go (why rush?) I might approach people a little last minute, for which I apologise.

I’d love to meet new people, hang out & eat delicious (vegetarian) food. I’m a sucker for bird watching, visiting gardens & fine art musea.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm on CS because I truly believe in community, hospitality and sharing.
During travel, it’s nice to stay at a beautiful hotel but one can feel very isolated. In order to really grasp a culture and it’s people, what better way to stay at a local and meet new people at the same time?
