-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Juliette and I have been living together in The Hague since the summer of 2017 and as we've both had some nice experiences being hosted through CS, we've decided to start hosting travellers ourselves on our mattress-couch!

We'd love to be a part of the interesting journeys people are making and would like to help with the dutch chapter. We could eat typical dutch food, cycle through town, visit the dutch parliament or royal palace, check out all of the international organisations that have been established in The Hague (Peace Palace for example!), or take the tram to the most famous beach in the Netherlands nearby. Or of course you can just simply crash at our place and share your experiences with us in the evening while enjoying some (local brewed?) beers :)

Most of the times, however, we'll have to be working or studying, especially during the week. In that case we couldn't guide you, but we would still happily give some tips on what to do here in The Hague and are happy to hang out in the evenings!

BTW, Juliette also speaks fleuntly French and Spanish and is quite good at Italian!
