My name is Annekéke. I have lived in Rotterdam most of my life. I am now living in a small apartment close to the city centre. I do not smoke and appreciate it if you will smoke outside.
I am working 4 days and have to get up quite early, but on the weekends I'd love to show you around.
I like to have a beer or a glass of wine, and like to socialize and get to know you. I am not religious and do not like to be persuaded into any religion. But of course people from any religion or racial background are very welcome. Please let me know if you want to join me for dinner and if you have special requests (vegetarian or whatever else). I like to meet people from all around the world.
There is a lot to see and do in Rotterdam and I am happy to tell you all about it. So I hope to welcome you into my home.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing
