ABOUT ME

- Before I start to introduce myself I want you to know that I wont host anyone without references, even
if you are new on couchurfing
- I am only able to host 1 person at the time.
- It would be so nice that the person who is asking me to stay in my house, has made a decent effort to fill in their profile as I would really like to read/see something about you before I can say yes.

I have a cat called Stine, she is very greedy for cuddles, and she farts
..... a lot!
Be aware.

Sorry, that had to be done first :-)

Now the nice part......

Hi, my name is Miranda. After living in Ireland for 8 years, I decided to go back to Holland and live in my hometown Weesp.
I consider myself to be young at heart, positive, helpful and openminded, a social person without a hidden agenda and very enthousiastic about meeting new people from around the world. I love hearing about people's life experiences and are very curious about different cultures. I consider myself to be a good listener but a pretty bad cook :-)

PHILOSOPHY

Live simply
Love generously
Care deeply
Speak kindly

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

-So far there have been 38 couchsurfers here..... They were all easygoing openminded, and respectful people .I have enjoyed their company. I have had no negative experiences (yet).

Interests

I am interested in: traveling, spending quality time with close family and friends. I have a huge interest in languages and try to pick up as many words as possible along the way from different languages around the world, the one that keeps me mostly occupied at the moment is spanish.
