I'm Denna. I'm a dreamer, generally up for any new experience that presents itself. I also dabble in photography, filmmaking, longboarding, climbing, reading, philosophy, dj-ing, and whatever else I'm into at the moment. Currently learning piano. Always looking for novel experiences!

Former van dweller. Living in a van isn't as glamourous as instagram makes it seem, it's a small space and the temperature is the same as outside, making for tough Dutch winters. Nonetheless, I hope to experience the vanlife sometime again. I've also lived on a boat for a year, ask me about it if you like :)

I read all requests, just know I sometimes can't answer all of them.

Hope to see you around!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Hosting people is a way for me to 'travel' without going anywhere, I get to meet and hang out with people I'd otherwise never have met. There's so much to learn from others' lives.

When I'm traveling I like to find ways to take it slow and live the local life if I can. Couchsurfing offers that opportunity and I'm grateful for all the generous hosts I've met so far.

Music, Movies, and Books

Drum & Bass, Psytrance, Techno, Progrock, Interstellar, The Kingkiller Chronicles

I will listen to anything but my go-to music changes with the seasons, usually from all kinds of dance music (D&B, deep house, psytrance) in the summer to more chill Indie and Rock in winter.

I mostly read either fantasy series, philosophy, or work-related books.
