PLEASE READ FIRST: Currently I'm not able to host people.

My name is Anna, I'm 24 years old. I live, study and work in Amsterdam.

In May 2015 I travelled to Asia. My plan was to travel there for three months, learn a lot about other cultures and meet nice people. I did learn a bit about other cultures, I met really nice people, but unfortunately, most of all I learned about the struggle of getting sick in an other part of the world and lying in a hospital bed. I went home earlier because of that. Luckily I learned a lot and I did meet great people! I had a great time and I experienced a lot. The best part about this whole thing was learning that people you meet on the road are so nice, kind and want to show you their lifestyle and culture.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm on CS because I hope to meet locals who can show me places most 'tourist' don't go and I hope that they can learn me things about local history, culture and religion.

I'm also on CS because I want to show people around in my own country and show them some of the real Dutch lifestyle.

If you want to stay with me, please message me the word 'Ollie' so I know you have read this.

Interests

I love photography and my motorcycle. Since I was a little girl I knew I wanted to have a motorcycle/bike when I was old enough. When I was 18 and it was legal to drive a motorcycle in the Netherlands, I got my driver's license.

I also love sports and to be active. But secretly I also love to hangout on the beach and to drink some beers with cool and interesting people.

While traveling from Canada to Argentina my boyfriend and I adopted our dog Mex in Mexico. She now lives with us in Amsterdam and I/we love to hike with her. I also do agility with her two times a week.
