About me
Hey hey! I'm Asmin! It's difficult to introduce myself in these few sentences, but what I can say is that I'm a daydreamer, friendly and sensible person and according to my friends I am always an amusing, caring, and alive and kicking person. I was an Erasmus student in Warsaw almost 6 years ago and in 2016 summer I worked in NJ, the USA by work and travel program, I finished my bachelor's and masters in psychology. Now I am doing second masters in clinical psychology. I'm here because traveling, meeting new people, discovering new cultures, and trying new things is my lifeblood so to say, and couchsurfing is a brilliant opportunity to achieve these. I was on couchsurfing before. Here is my profile/references: https://archive.ph/eNIEV What I Can Share with Hosts I can cook Turkish foods, we can talk about psychology and I can share my memories and experiences that I gained through my travels and anything that I feel that I know well. I can teach you some Turkish folk dance :) Amazing Things I’ve Done I left all the things and I decided to live in Poland without knowing any Polish and anyone. Well, i tried my best! Scuba diving! You will be addicted to underwater after meeting the wonderful world. It is awesome! I tread the boards 1 musical and 1 play in front of more than 200 people. I climbed the highest point of the Tatra Mountains in Zakopane aannd I didn't break my bones. It is an amazing thing for such a clumsy person like me. I hitchhiked around Europe. Oslo to Stockholm, Warsaw to Vienna, and so on. Totally 5215 km btw October '15- May'16. I attended EQC'16 (European Quidditch Cup) in Italy in April 2016. ( I broke my ribs during the games but I don't regret it. It was an amazing weekend!)

About me
I just started to do my own '12Stedentocht' - a walking tour through all the (capitals of the) provinces in The Netherlands on a small budget, and I am looking for likeminded people and places to stay. Creative, independent, joyful, open. I value freedom, joy, kindness. Walking, wandering, wondering, pondering. Being. City, nature, offgrid, on/off the road. Books. Thinking. About thinking (etc). Camping. Open Fire. Storm. Sun. Snow. Art, photography, indie music, arthouse movies. Single at Heart. Know thyself. Serious. Silliness 🙃 [ Ik ben net aan mijn eigen '12Stedentocht' begonnen, een wandeling door/langs alle (hoofdsteden van de) Nederlandse provinciën. Ik werk onderweg, maar altijd net genoeg om rond te komen - er is nog zo veel meer te doen en te zien! Leuk om gelijkgestemde mensen te ontmoeten en helemaal fijn om bij ze te kunnen overnachten ]

About Me
Hello :) I’m a collection of paradoxes. I love dancing at festivals as much as talking about how to dismantle capitalism. I do a lot of crafts and DIY’s but I also love to go crazy at parties and be among people. I read a lot but can be very silly and comic at the same time. You can’t guess my character just by looking at something that I did! But what matters the most to me, is to be a good human. And that I strive to be at all times.

Solo travel experience
The Netherlands are super safe and the majority of people speak English, so I was able to get directions if needed. Plus their public transport is amazing, it's so easy to get from city to city!

Itinerary: Amsterdam (5 nights) with a day trip to Haarlem and The Hague Antwerp (3 nights) with a day trip to Ghent Utrecht (3 nights) with a day trip to Rotterdam Safety: I felt very safe there. Recommendations: Train travel within the Netherlands is fantastically easy. Pick up an OV-chipkaart when you arrive, load it with euros,and you can catch a train to nearly everywhere.
