Welcome to the Netherlands! A country with quite some nice cities to visit!

If you are eager to have a glimps of what keeps the Dutchies occupied you may want to visit this website ... :-P it talks about our bikes (our main transportation system) http://www.ski-epic.com/amsterdam_bicycles/ Its just for fun!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Only one email away

Just send me an e-mail with the date(s)you are planning to come and what you are looking for. So I can see whether my place is suitable for your visiting plans.

Apart from my futon I also have
1. 2 sleeping baggs and pillows
2. One bike you can use
3. Computer with internet (you can use it)
4. Washing Machine you can use :P!

Generally I host for two nights .... :)

Route to Amsterdam North

My house is located about 20 minutes by bike from the city centre. My house is in Amsterdam North behind the Central station. It will take you only 6 minutes by bus.

The Remommendations

1. Its raining in Amsterdam quite a lot so you may want to bring an umbrella!

2. Make sure you always have a back-up plan. In June, Juny and August the hostels in Amsterdam are crowed. I sheldome cancel appointments but may something happen please make sure you have a plan B

3. It might be very helpful to have a telephone number where I can reach you and you can reach me as well, just in case plans change :-)!

Request

If you say your coming and for one reasons you can't make it let me know in advance.

You have gotta love Amsterdam
