STOP right there!! I know we live near Amsterdam but we don't go out partying all night and we don't have weed plants at our basement where we get high all the time. We're a non smoking family with small children. If I still have your attention read on.....Hey there. I live in a town called Almere, about 34 kilometers from Amsterdam. It takes you about 20 to 30 minutes to get there by train. I'm married to Hendry. We both have been married before. He has 4 sons, I have 1 son and 1 daughter. That can be quite crowded sometimes but cosy😊. My 2 kids live at our place, exept for the weekends and holidays. His kids live at their moms house, exept on fridays and 2 out of 4 weekends et cetera.

Sjeez...how would I describe myself...hmmmm....humouristic,caring, love talking about other cultures,countries and stuff, curious in a good way like wanting to learn stuff and outgoing.

Things I really love are music. I prefer rock and alternative but can also appreciate artists like Juanes or even the Corrs. I was a big R.E.M.-fan....

I play some guitar. Love to dance.

I love talking to people face to face. That's why I got rid of my facebook-account. Yes I made a new one for my surfing and hosting-activities and maybe in the future do more with my music-therapy diploma. You have to got a certain % of trustworthiness out here. Now getting verified when I get my next paycheck et voila😉.

You can always ask me stuff if you want to know more.....

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I think it's great meeting other people from other countries. And why not? We have a spare room in school holidays....Why not help someone out by offer him/her a place to stay and show someone around.

And I also want to travel myself. I loved geography when I was a little kid and still do. Love to watch documentaries about all the wonders of the earth and the sky above us. (Astronomy is also a hobby of mine).
