Hi there, I’m Annelieke (33y) from Amsterdam in the Netherlands. In daily life I work as a product manager at an airline, but say ‘have you ever tried’ or ‘adventure’ and my eyes start sparkling

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I believe people make your journey, both in life and while traveling. My most memorable travel experiences were made by the crazy, funny, sweet people I bumped into. Instead of doing the usual tourist stuff I get most excited by visiting places the locals love and by getting to know a culture via you, being a local.
