Hi travelers!
Families, couples and adventurers!

************
PLEASE make sure to read all my profile before sending a request .

We expect travelers to be independent as our days typically include studies, work, family/friends, and/or local traveling. But do consider that we do try our best to learn about you and share back about us additionally to super tips for you to enjoy the exciting Amsterdam City and its peaceful Countryside. And of course, expect to gather for a drink/bite and/or show you around if time allows it.

ABOUT ME
——————

👫 Ahron and me are an out of the box jolly Dutch-Mexican couple. We love fun communities, nature and outdoor adventures. Inspired by this, we chose to live in the best kept secret of Amsterdam (its amazing countryside which makes it a perfect combo by being next to one of the trendiest areas around, full of art/events and top entrepreneurs, Amsterdam Noord).

🏡 We get a lot of requests for staying and meeting. And as most of travelers, we also have busy agendas plus a social 10m old baby Dante, so planning ahead is really helpful. If you are interested in having this making us part of your adventure by staying or meeting, we would appreciate if you send your request starting with “HELLO CASA NORTE! + AND BRIEFLY HOW DO YOU SEE US CONNECTING” to do our best in finding time to host you accordingly or at least to show you around Amsterdam Noord and Twiske along with the local culture lifestyle :)

What to visit in Amsterdam?
** Don’t forget checking if there is a CS event during your visit to join activities and travelers who are already looking to network
** City Center: Search “Amsterdam Food Bicycles Tours” in Google and enjoy all the street food tours; in your tour you have to try some typical street snacks like vleemish frites/bitterballen/krokets/pannenkoeken/stroopwaffles
** Hot Spots: museums, public events happening around depending the season (summer festivals in the city - “beaches” like Dok Amsterdam -sail competitions - LGBT parade - ||| winter carnavals - sinterklaas - light festivals; etc.), boat trips and parks of your preference (some even have temporary activities/exhibitions or a zoo in it!). In the night you can do a pub crawl organized by walking tours, students groups or hostels. If you like Thai, you have to eat in Bird (worth to wait in line during your visit around red light district).
**Noord of Amsterdam: Visit Durgerdam and Twiske Molen if the weather is reasonable. On your way back stop anytime in Café ‘T Sluisje/ Cafe Ceuvel for a coffee, Hyena Cinema Bar for a snack and a movie on couches, and NDSM+Plek/Skate Cafe/Paradiso for drinks or specially for a fun
