ABOUT ME

My name is Claudia and I live together with my boyfriend Stijn in a nice home in Den Bosch. We've both studied Slavic languages in Amsterdam, and traveled quite a bit to the eastern parts of Europe and Russia. Stijn is very adventurous and likes hiking in the mountains. I'm a little less adventurous (and less impatient!), & better at appreciating the little things in life. At this moment I work at home as a graphic designer and Stijn works as a decorator to pay the bills (but his big dream is actually to work on an oil platform). We have a simple, quiet life... but big plans for the future! (travel to SIberia, go to China and Hong Kong, live in Norway for a few years, live on a boat, build our own dream home, spend Christmas in a wooden house covered in snow & near a lake, own a pub, build an Iglo, etc. etc.)

PHILOSOPHY

Just keep swimming. (Finding Nemo)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

We heard from a friend about couchsurfing and met some couchsurfers who were staying at his place. These people we met were very friendly and interesting. Now we want to offer our spare bedroom to couchsurfers as well!
