ABOUT ME

Hi, I'm Ilse. I'm someone who can be a bit shy at first but I get rather talkative when I'm starting to feel at ease with someone. I'm not the biggest party animal, but I do like a party every now and then... Just not every night :).

Things I like: spending time with friends & family, traveling, having a drink, creativity (writing & decorating letters, crocheting, sewing, ...), reading, sightseeing, tea, ...

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Surfed in Germany, Amsterdam,Romania & France and met up with local couchsurfers in Italy. Hosted a couple of times, sometimes the same person more than once.

Always looking for more cs experiences, as all of them have been absolutely wonderful so far.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I met some really amazing people when I was on a holiday in Tuscany and decided to do some "real" couchsurfing a couple of months later, while traveling in Germany. My hosts gave me an an amazing time and with one person I stayed in touch and we travelled to each other places a couple of times.
