Hey there! I'm a curl-headed girl from the Netherlands. I'm an archaeologist who became a Biologist, studied primates and anatomy, and now back into Archaeology :)

I moved to Cyprus - Nicosia a while ago, and doing a Postdoc there! It's a beautiful Island and Nicosia is a great town. I'm always keen on meeting people and show you around if I'm there, but I'm quite busy at the moment with work, so not always able to host! I've got an studio in the old town of Nicosia, which has a couch, but no separate bedroom I'm afraid________________________________________________________________________________________________

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I have a few friends in Leiden who participate in the CS project and I've met some of their Couch-Surfers. They all had good experiences and made good friends. I think its a lovely way to meet people and to offer a helping hand!
