Asmin
Leiden
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'm a petsitter I can help you out with your furry babies. 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 Iâve 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!)

Rayanne
Leiden
About me
Brazilian, polyglot, nutritionist, artist. I love telling stories but I never finish them. I sing in the family samba circles after a few drinks. I'm allergic to emotional illiteracy. I like old people stuff and weird parties. My biggest enemies are garden pests and loud sounds. My biggest strength is being able to shut up. My biggest weakness is argentine tango. My biggest regret is literacy. I just started traveling at 25 (last year) through an exchange program, by couch surfing I try to save some money so I can see more of the world, but also make connections wherever I go so I can really experience what's out there!

Leyla
Leiden
About me
Hi, Im Leyla! From the Netherlands. Bit shy, but once you get to know me, watch out for my sassy side. I love travelling so much, but I can be anxious and chaotic sometimes, so I love to meet other women to feel safe and to make some lovely connections. And to prove myself that I can!

H.
Leiden
About me
I am Irem, 23 year old psychologist and neuropsychologist to be. I am Turkish and live in TĂŒrkiye but currently I am in Leiden, Netherlands for a research in Leiden University. I live with my mother and I am an excellent housemate (my host in Leiden says too âșïž). I am rather calm and silence person. In good topics i talk too much but not always. I prefer eating and drinking coffee alone but i like chit chat over tea. I am planning to apply neuropsychology/neuroscience PhD for 2025-26. And before I go back to TĂŒrkiye I want to meet with new people as much as I can because I believe books can teach me something but humans can teach everything.
Speaking
Make new friends
Meet women from around the world, share your experiences, and build friendships that make life abroad feel less lonely and much more fun.
Is Leiden safe for women?
Leiden si very safe city. It's small and at night it's usually quiet, not many people outside. There are street lights, not sketchy places etc. I feel safe here even going out at night, I sometimes go for a run around midnight and I have never felt threatened.
