Hi! My name is Femke and currently I am living in Leiden (The Netherlands). I am planning my trip to Australia (coming in februari), where I would like to 'live', work and travel.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm on Couchsurfing because I'd like to experience my trip in different kind of ways (hostel, camping, Couchsurfing etc.) and I'd like to meet new people. I think that Couchsurfing will bring me to different places and people then a hostel would do. Besides that, (I'm not going to lie), I'd like to stay in Australia for as long time and Couchsurfing would be a lot cheaper.. I hope this is enough information for you :-).

Music, Movies, and Books

''My favorite music'' - that is a hard one.. I love music! :-) I worked for the public radio of the Netherlands where my knowledge and love for music only became bigger. If I have to drop some names:

Bob Dylan, The Stones, The Beatles, Eddy Vedder, John Mayer, Mumford & Sons, Jack Johnson, Damien Rice, Coldplay, Bear's Den.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I am kind of proud that I got to work for the biggest annual charity event of the Netherlands: 3FM Serious Request. 3FM Serious Request is an event, organized by the public radio of the Netherlands in cooperation with the Red Cross. Every year the event battles a ‘silent crisis’ and tries to raise as much money as possible for the victims of that specific crisis. Every year we raise about 14 million Euro and help a lot of people :-)!!!
