Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
I have hosted many times with my (former) roommates witch was always a lot of fun. Having parties, showing some surfers around and visiting events in Amsterdam. I've Just moved to a new place and the couch is ready! I'd love to surf some couches myself in te following years to enlighten my Couchsurfing experience.
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
I have met many great people while hosting in Amsterdam. It's awesome to meet new people from all over the world in a more personal way. Me and my former flatmates still meet with some European surfers once in a while.
