Heey, I am Jana :)
I’m 25 years old and a vegan, yoga lover, feminist, outdoor sport enthusiast and climate justice activist… to be fair, there’s probably more I could name but this should do for now haha.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am here to offer my sofa/mattress for people visiting Amsterdam. I live with my partner Camiel so he would be around as well.
COUCHSURFING IS NOT A DATING APP

Music, Movies, and Books

MUSIC

Any kind of music from jazz, blues, classical music to rock, folk, alternative music, indie rock… not that much into metal and heavy rock but besides that I’m easy to please!

MOVIES

Captain Fantastic has done it for me. Otherwise, I don’t watch movies that much… more of a TV show fan (Tuca and Bertie is my current fave)!

BOOKS

Migration, Charlotte McConaghe
The White Disease, Karel Capek
1984, George Orwell
Dead Aid, Dambisa Moyo
The most comprehensive plan ever proposed to reverse global warming, Drawdown

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Decided to travel after finishing my masters. Definitely needed a break to look after my mental health and although it was a difficult choice to make, I am faaar from regretting it. Two months in Mozambique and Tanzania have been simply wonderful :)

Teach, Learn, Share

Love sharing experiences and always enjoy some quality time with open minded and reflective people… your home is my home as long as we respect one another :)

What I Can Share with Hosts

Sofa/mattress to sleep on, some nice meal and maybe some local tips! If you’re into climbing, running or swimming in local canals and lakes, you can tag along for that too :) If you stay with us, you would sleep in the living room; in other words, we do not offer a private room.

Please note that we are a vegan household so we would really appreciate if our guests would not cook meat in the house. When requesting to stay with us, mention “no meat in the house” and let us know that you agree not to cook and consume any meat in our home. When it comes to eating dairy in the house, that is fine – we leave it up to the guests to decide ☺️
