CURRENT MISSION

Enjoying music, walks in nature, singing. Saving money for a world trip with my husband and daughter :)

ABOUT ME

I'm Anne (28) from the Netherlands. My husband and I (and our little daugther) enjoy meeting new people and getting to know new languages and cultures. In our free time we like to hike, travel and go to concerts. We are fairly busy during the week (2 fulltime jobs), but are happy to host you and show you around during the weekends!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Met some CS members on the festival "Roskilde" in 2007.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Couchesurfed in Italy and New Zealand. We met great people and made some good friends. Also we had the pleasure to host several couchsurfers. It's a great way to meet fellow travelers, exchange stories and feel a bit like traveling while being in your own home.

Interests

Traveling (suprising ;) ), learning, skating, hiking, camping, swimming, singing, climbing, gardening, learning how to live sustainable, going to small concerts, movies and festivals, cooking, things that fly, music, juggling.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

We had quite a lot of places named here, but they are just a fraction of all beautiful places in the world. Truly amazing is how people on cs and on lots of other occasions try to help eachother and share expiriences, journeys and stupid jokes :)

Teach, Learn, Share

We've participated in a sustainable construction project and a communal garden and would like to exchange knowledge and learn more on sustainable building and permaculture.

I can give you some tips on how you can make your garde bee-friendly, such as making a bee-hotel and growing the right flowers. My husband can teach you how to defend yourselve with judo.

I would love to learn handling the Poi (some sort of juggling with two balls that are attached to a line). We could learn you how to cook a descent (mashed) Dutch meal and quiete some vegetarian dishes!
