Very safe place, big toen small city vibes. Easy to get around walking, bike or with public transport. People will say to skip Holtenbroek at night, but it's safe there too. Nothing to worry about here :)

Really nice to be for everyone and lots of students. Very authentically dutch. Some crime but not much. Lots of different cultures. Sometimes large groups of men in the city center, best to walk around them, not agressive. Not alot of homeless people.

About me
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!

About me
Hello! My name is Mirte, and loving travelling! I lived in Ireland for 3 years and made it a home away from home. Recently bought a rooftop tent and I'm planning a big Irish roadtrip in the summer to further explore and visit friends. Can't wait! I am an art teacher at a college and am a volunteer at the local concert hall, so I get to see all the good gigs. I'm open to meeting travel buddies and also looking for someone to mind my cat here in the Netherlands when I'm away.
