We’re Mark & Evelien, 32 years old and together for over 10 years. We love having fun together and meeting new people.

We bought and renovated our home 5 years ago. We made a comfortable guest room that isn’t used a lot.
So we figured we’d combine those 2 facts and offer our guest room as an ‘couch’ :)

Mark started his own business one year ago. He’s helping organisations to gain more knowledge about information security.

Evelien works as an application manager at a large Dutch company.

We both love to cook, entertain and take care of people and we enjoy life with good food and drinks.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To explore a different way of traveling ; less touristy, see the real city.
Meet interesting people, learn about other cultures, good places to eat/drink.

To offer our guest room to the world :)
