Hello, I am Esther :) Living in the Netherlands but spending lots of time in Paris too! I am always in for - a good conversation - an urban exploration including visiting lots of parks, bookstores and viewpoins - jam session - having some time to read my book - spending time in a cafe on my own or with friends drinking coffee (daytime) or beer (evening/night). I would say that I live by the saying that the best things in life happen unexpectedly and (solo) traveling really proved that :) Feel free to send a message if you have any questions about NL or just feel like talking :)

Hiii! I'm Brazilian and have been living in The Netherlands for 4 years :) I share a flat with my (Swedish) girlfriend and we often travel together. I'm a political economist with interest in sustainability and feminist theory/literature/organizing! I'm not super much the party type but you can always convince me to go to a costume party or karaoke. I am super affectionate and love sharing moments with friends, old or new I do quite a lot of hitchhiking and couchsurfing and that's my usual preferred form of traveling! I live up to the latina standard, which means I am super warm and get a lot of energy from socializing and meeting new people.

: Hello! I’m Astrid ( aka the Ginger) a passionate vegan chef and the founder of Culinaire Connectie, where I craft plant-based meals that celebrate flavor and creativity. Alongside running my business, I work as a caretaker for children, a role that brings me immense joy and purpose. When I’m not in the kitchen or caring for little ones, you’ll likely find me out hiking through nature, diving into new underwater worlds, or spinning to the rhythm of Cuban salsa. I’m always up for meeting new people, sharing stories, and building connections over good food and good vibes. Every month, I love hosting dinners for friends, bringing people together through delicious, plant-based dishes that I create. Looking forward to connecting and sharing a meal (or dance!) soon!

Hey hey! I'm Asmin! It's difficult to introduce myself in these few sentences, but what I can say is that I'm a daydreamer, friendly and sensible person and according to my friends I am always an amusing, caring, and alive and kicking person. I was an Erasmus student in Warsaw almost 6 years ago and in 2016 summer I worked in NJ, the USA by work and travel program, I finished my bachelor's and masters in psychology. Now I am doing second masters in clinical psychology. I'm here because traveling, meeting new people, discovering new cultures, and trying new things is my lifeblood so to say, and couchsurfing is a brilliant opportunity to achieve these. I was on couchsurfing before. Here is my profile/references: https://archive.ph/eNIEV What I Can Share with Hosts I'm a petsitter I can help you out with your furry babies. I can cook Turkish foods, we can talk about psychology and I can share my memories and experiences that I gained through my travels and anything that I feel that I know well. I can teach you some Turkish folk dance :) Amazing Things I’ve Done I left all the things and I decided to live in Poland without knowing any Polish and anyone. Well, i tried my best! Scuba diving! You will be addicted to underwater after meeting the wonderful world. It is awesome! I tread the boards 1 musical and 1 play in front of more than 200 people. I climbed the highest point of the Tatra Mountains in Zakopane aannd I didn't break my bones. It is an amazing thing for such a clumsy person like me. I hitchhiked around Europe. Oslo to Stockholm, Warsaw to Vienna, and so on. Totally 5215 km btw October '15- May'16. I attended EQC'16 (European Quidditch Cup) in Italy in April 2016. ( I broke my ribs during the games but I don't regret it. It was an amazing weekend!)

Hii, I'm Yasemin. I am originally from Turkey but I have been living in the Hague, the Netherlands for the past 4 years, to pursue a bachelor's degree in international relations :) I speak Turkish, English, Russian, French (though I spoke it quite well in the past, my French has deteriorated so much, so i can only hold basic conversations now :")) and also am currently learning Dutch. I enjoy traveling to different places and meeting different people wherever I go, especially through hitchhiking and couchsurfing :) I like how this way of traveling gives me opportunities to meet and talk to people that I would never get a chance to meet otherwise. I like talking about history, video games, techno, going on meaningles walks around the city with my friends, and just chill hang outs in general. I would say I am pretty low maintenance. Periodically, I pick up random hobbies just to drop them after a few months, so I wouldn't say I have a set thing I love to do lol. I hate capitalism, fascism, ignorance. I guess apathy in general. I am happy to host whoever happens to find themselves in the Hague! Even though I am not Dutch, I am confident in my ability to tour guide so ill give you a tour if im available :)

Hi, I'm Sanne (18 years old) and I live in a small village in the most beautiful forests of the Netherlands. I live with my parents and a lot of little brothers and sisters in a house just outside the village. I'm open to meeting up, offering a place to sleep or to eat. If you want I can recommend you the best spots while you stay here. Maybe we can make a dagtrip together.

I'm 33F with autism and ADHD. I've been on Couchsurfing from 2012 - 2021, and on BeWelcome since 2020. On CS I had over 85 references, on BeWelcome I have 6 comments about me. I have been living on my own for 10 years, my cats have been living with me for 6 and 4 years now. I'm a (sustainable) Tourism student, as well as a business student (at 2 universities).
Traveled to Amsterdam with my sister. Was a lot of fun but the Restaurants somehow were pretty expensive (for a broke student😅) The Rijksmuseum was very interesting and beautiful to look at and learn new things. I would suggest to book a trip on a faerie through the city (you see a lot) and also a stroopwaffel course. Was great fun!
