ABOUT ME

Hi! I´m Desiré, originally from the beautiful village of Urk in the Netherlands. Now I'm living in a small village next to it, called Tollebeek. I have really great memories from all the times I traveled alone during and after my studies. I met great people and had good times. I hope to offer a place of rest for those travelling to Urk or it's surroundings.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

At the moment I don't travel much, but I'm willing to host people.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

When I lived with my parents I hosted a few people. That's a few years ago. Right now I live together with my husband and 2 guinea pigs.
