I study theatre, but took a year off in which I was working in the oldest cinema in Amsterdam and also at the best spot ever in the Vondelpark (The Movies and 't Blauwe Theehuis, once in Amsterdam: come and visit!). I felt like I should go and do something new, so I saved up, bought an Interrail ticket and am currently traveling through Europe (only for a month, because budget, you know). This is my first time traveling alone. I love writing, books, plays, movies, music, musea, wandering about, strolling around, drinking beers with friends and strangers - often too much but you can't tell till the next morning, right? I would say I'm adventurous, but then again it could also just be my complete lack of planning skills that gets me into those situations. Anyway, i love them.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I hope to meet people throughout the world, because I love to hear all kinds of stories and live with a brain that is bigger than my own.
