ABOUT ME

!!! I do NOT live in Amsterdam itself!! My home is in a small village about half an hour from Amsterdam...

I'm Jacqueline. I love to travel and meet new people.
I already made some great trips, but that was before I heard of CS. I think it's a great way to really meet people and learn something about them and there country.
I work as a teacher (primary school, special education), so I tend to be quite relaxed and easy going (otherwise you won't œsurvive 25 kids ;-)). I smile a lot, and I'm funny, sometimes a bit crazy. I'm a polite girl and I don't smoke.

PHILOSOPHY

Life isn't for working, working is to be able to live..

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I would like to hoste and surfe. I heard about CS on tv, and later my brother went couchsurfing to Thailand and Vietnam. He had a great time, and then I thought 'I'm going too'...

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I would really like to surfe and/or hoste anytime soon...

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Last summer I went to a festival in Budapest, how great was that. There was soooo much to do, from dancing to music and from painting to meditation. Met some great people from al over the world there and I had so much fun. Even the last day I noticed things to do I didn't see before (after already being there for about 10 days).
