Description

Hi there!

My name is Duco. I am a 20 year old student in Utrecht, the Netherlands, studying Chemistry and Environmental Sciences. I am very Dutch (as you can tell from my appearance :)) and grew up in Amsterdam, after which I moved to Utrecht for studies.

I am quite passionate about the climate, but my other main interests are music and technology. So a bonus, if your phone fell and you need a screen replacement, I am able to do that! I enjoy sports, mainly tennis and running, and I ran my first and only marathon in 2025.

From upcoming summer onwards I will be taking a gap year after my bachelors, and I am planning to make the most of it! Hence this beautiful account. I have to main goals: 1) I want to learn French (well). I can speak basic French as I took it in high school and one class in uni, but since I am young (of spirit) I figured if I want to properly learn it, I should do it now! Secondly, I would like to gain some practical skills, as my head it quite tired from all the academics of the past years... So timbering, painting, soldering, there isn't anything that I would not want to learn in my travel times.

That's about it! I think I am quite an extroverted person, but I also like some cosy alone time. I'd like to think that I am humorous but that seems weird to write about myself :)
I am really excited for what my gap years has to bring, and I am always open for questions. Cheers!

Plus de détails sur les langues qui m'intéressent
I would love to learn to understand and speak French fluently. I have taken 6 years of French in high school, and one French lvl 2 course in University. I plan to learn it by diving into the deep and talk as much French as possible for the length of my stay! In terms of level, I can have small talk with someone and ask my way, but I would like to learn a lot more, especially when the native French speakers start talking suuupeeer fast, I want to be able to understand :)

Quelles sont vos compétences ?

- Fluent English
- Fluent Dutch
- Can take care of myself and others as I have lived with many different housemates over the years. I am typical Dutch in the sense that I am organised and tidy.
- My education is on a multicultural campus (google University College Utrecht, they are better at the advertising of it than I could ever be ;)) so I'd like to say I am used to have a welcoming environment with anyone from anywhere
- I am (arguably) in the physical peak of my life, so practical work is not something I'm scared of
- I can cook! (I won't bother anyone with Dutch cuisine though...)
- I am technologically capable
- I have a dog! That's an ability right there.
- I like to think that I am reasonably smart :)

Autres infos...

I am scary good at card games and also quite competitive. I love movies too, my favourite one is probably The Matrix or La La Land. Music I adore too, I am mainly into 70s and 80s music (Supertramp, Little River Band, Eagles, name it). Lastly, I like video editing!

  Vegetarianism is preferred :), but willing to throw that overboard if it really is too much of a hassle.
