- Also read important info on location above.

I don't appreciate messages nor accept friend requests from people who didn't stay with me or hosted me or are not connected to couch surfers I know.
Of course I read surf requests that meet the criteria.

ABOUT ME (she/her)

When you send a request, first of all I will read your profile, because I am always interested in what makes you tick.

Before sending a request, please read through my profile too and check out what I write about us and the location, you make a bad start if you are not interested in your host, also, you need to know where you will end up, don't you? 😉 And there are a few house rules that I consider important.

If I get a request that has no reference at all to my profile, I will decline without any more explanation.

Key words: direct, open minded, intelligent, loving and caring.
Young spirit, good sense of humour, interested in people and sort of a rebel of kinds. And right now exploring my creativity, drawing, theatre performances, singing ...just going with the flow. Building a practice as birth worker.

I live with my child Yael (they,them) when they are not elsewhere 😁. We love music and are politically very outspoken.
And we used to live with our sweet Refugee dog Nina, from Greece, but we lost her 30 april 2024. She is dearly missed ❤️.

When writing a request, please mention if you can relate to any of our interests.
Mind you, it is not necesary to have the same interests, but you could be inspired to share some of yours if they are different..

I do not host people who send standard messages and who don't take an effort in filling out their own profile.

If you bring a dog it should be not too big and totally accepting of Nina.
If it doesn't work out between our dogs, I will have to ask you to find another place.
My pet should feel safe in their own house.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I left Holland when I was 22 to work in Spain for 9 months, not knowing anyone.
stayed for 10 yrs.
Drove on my own through 3 states of the USA, like Thelma without Louise.
Gave birth to the most wonderful person in the world.
Following my soul's call gave me some amazing experiences.
