Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'm a (non-professional, but passionate) city guide for Amsterdam and some other parts of Holland as well.
I grew up in the south of Holland near the city Den Bosch, which is very nice because of the easygoing lifestyle and the interesting historical city centre.

at the age of 18 I moved to Amsterdam because of my studies (Ergonomics)

Apart from a short period in Stockholm ( 3 months) and in Utrecht/Amersfoort (1,5 year) I have lived in Amsterdam eversince.

I have slowly discovered all that the city has to offer and I can definetely be of assistance finding your way here.
I love to bring you to find inspiration in it as I still do every day.
