About Me

Hi! My name is Hannelore, 22 yo. I'm a creative, calm, open-minded, analytical and sensitive person. I'm a bit of an extroverted introvert: I love spending time with people, having fun together and connecting and on the other hand I take some time to open up and enjoy time alone. I also love doing my own thing while having people around in the same room. I'm passionate about psychology and philosophy, so these are the subjects I study. Next to my studies, I play theatre. I love the process of creating something together and I love expressing raw emotions on stage. In the rest of my time, I like reading books, watching shows, doing yoga, thrifting, sewing, participating in activism, spening time with friends or in nature and going to the occasional party. I'm not much of a traveler because I really love the comfort and cozyness of my own home. However, when I do travel every now and then, I like how it expands my horizon and I discover new things about the world and about myself. I'm not on this app because I'm traveling though. I'm coming to Utrecht to study, via the exchange programme, and haven't found a room yet :')

Solo travel experience

Ghent is an amazing city to go to as a woman. It's very safe, many cool things to do and very open-minded. You can easily walk alone at night and ask for help in any bar or club if you are feeling unsafe. The prices are a bit high, but you can find some nice budget places such as Panos or other chains.
