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.

About Me
Hi! I’m a dancer and me and one more friend want to go to an contemporary dance intensive course in Amsterdam from the 13th to the 23rd of October. We were wondering if there are any sisters who could host us during this time. In return we can cook for you, share cultural customs and we are always ready for fun plans. ✨

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!
