Hi! I am Els and I live traveling, preferably with my motorcycle Overland together with my boyfriend Merijn. We live in Amsterdam where we enjoy the city, hanging out with friends and cycle a lot. I am working as a nurse in psychiatry. I visit people at home and help them get their life back in track in their home situation with family and friends. I like to cook, read and try to play the ukelele. I like to meet up with other people, hang out, share good stories with a beer and a laugh.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Coz I like to travel and meet the locals. Hear their story first hand, learn from them and have a good laugh.

Interests

So now I am traveling on a six month trip on my motorbike through the former USSR. I can practice my newly learned Russian and carry my ukelele on my back since I thought I would have enough time to practice 😙

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can offer you a good story or two and good companionship. If you like you can hop on the back of my bike to the nearest store and I'll cook you a meal. And if I practice more I might play you a song....
