CURRENT MISSION

Have you ever climbed into an abandoned building?

ABOUT ME

I can be a little shy in the beginning, but I'm also curious, likes to meet new people, can be kind of crazy sometimes, can talk a lot, but I'm also a good listener, likes to laugh, thinks a lot, can be quit, dreamer, impulsive.

I just love all kinds of music, dancing to it or just listening to that little special part, I'm an art addict (but don't ask me for big names/years whatever, when I see something nice I like it ;)

I can eat to much ice cream and chocolate because I love it, I'm fond of good conversations, love to paint and to make photo's.

Likes to have long talks about anything, interested in other people and how they stand in life.

Did you ever heard about 'urban exploring'? I didn't before I actually did it, and afterwards I heard the thing as climbing into old/abandoned/forbidden places has a name.. Take a look at my website/facebook page for a little impression.

I live with my boyfriend Edwin, he also likes to meet new people, talk about motorcycling, showing his motorcycle, he cannot stop talking about it.. (just joking)likes music, all kinds. Like to chill out and have a beer, specially the ones from Belgium!

And let I not forget the loving seniors dudes in our mansion: Tijgert and Puma, our cats <3

PHILOSOPHY

Do what your good at and what you enjoy: be happy!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

We mostly host people, and surfed ourselves just a few times. Even through CS I've been housesitting a few times. In Belgium and Sweden. Now we are thinking about returning that favour as well if we will be away for longer then a week.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Hosting, hosting, hosting, surfing, catsitting, housesitting. Love it! Check the references for more details.

Interests

I love to make photo's (mostly with my fish-eye camera), making old things a little cooler: love recycling old thingies from secondhandstores, market or from people who doesn't like it any more. Take a look around in our house, almost everything is second hand and we love it!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Cat/housesitting in Sweden, in like the middle of nowhere. I met the greatest people here and enjoyed the life here with the full 100% and even used a chainsaw in the woods and cut my first tree (hell yeah!).

Teach, Learn, Share

We can show you how to cook some real Dutch meals, go cruising throught Zwolle by bike (just stay on the right side of the road..) and just having fun with whatever we like to do :)

We can search for second hand treasures in Zwolle or cities nearby, have good beers in nice pubs, watch a dutch movie together and so on..

Janneke can make a great Moroccon Tajine (without the tajine, cause it broke..) but it's great!

Countries I’ve Visited

Countries I’ve Lived In

Belgium, Netherlands, Poland, Sweden
