I am 28 years old. I'm originally from Amsterdam The Netherlands, but I've been in de US for 2 years now, I live with John, my husband (who I met when he sent me a message on couchsurfing! ) in Reno NV
It's a big change and I'd hope to make some friends along the way. I working here as a freelance animator/ filmmaker and am a barista in a local coffeeshop. I continue to ride my bicycle like I'm still in Amsterdam.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love meeting new people everywhere, and when I travel I like to meet locals instead of other tourist. Couchsurfing has been a great experience for me so far!
