CURRENT MISSION

Amsterdam - India - Amsterdam overland

ABOUT ME

we're Maaike (30) and Coen (33). In September 2008 we left Amsterdam for a slow train-hitchhike-cycling overland trip to India, and back. We try to travel low-budget, without any rush, with fun and the aim to meet many nice people in the countries on the road.
About us...
* we're vegetarians
* we enjoy trying to live day by day
* we're easygoing, and have no high demands: we love
any couch offered to us...!

* we like: biking, politics, creative recycling, chess, backgammon, reading, football, juggling, running..

PHILOSOPHY

we try to live by the day (sometimes it works..)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

we're currently on the road, so we have no couch to offer.. but once we're back in Amsterdam you're welcome (well, as soon as we found a place to live..).

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
