Hi butterflies, I myself like to fly away to other places to meet other butterflies and beautiful people and their colors of traditions and cultures. But I also can really enjoy to stay in my cocoon and would love to welcome other butterflies and people, having a great time with them in my wonderful, social and green hometown. Even though I am born with a muscular disease and I am using a power wheelchair to move around, it absolutely doesn’t make me to stay in my cocoon all the time. On the contrary! I’m looking for the possibilities, and not the impossibilities. That’s my life motto! And independency with a physical disability is also a high priority in my undertaking life. :) Every year I’m making a trip to have a water sports holiday on a great lake (sailing, canoeing, rowing and even water skiing). When I’m in my hometown I love to be with my fellow butterfly friends to have a good fresh (vegetarian) meal and to enjoy their company. I can also really enjoy of the serenity of nature or writing my thoughts and feelings down on paper as poetry.

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 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!)

Hi I'm Nejla. How can I describe myself... I am respectful, honest and trustworthy to people. I love traveling, nature, in short, everything beautiful. I adapt to where I am. I'm calm but witty. I love to listen. My hobby is painting. I never interfere in people's privacy, and in the same way, I don't want anyone to interfere with me. I love and want to meet new, good, calm, kind-hearted people. My motto and rules; Respect first. Don't do to others what you wouldn't want done to you. The only thing is if you want to cook please you have to buy it by yourself (I hope you understand… ) My guest has a room with a balcony and things like towels available. I hope to meet good people. I don't like nightlife and I don't drink alcohol or smoke. Smokers please use the balcony.

Hi everyone!! I am currently interrailing with my girlfriend around Italy Austria and Switzerland! We had a lot of last minute changed in our plans and are mostly now looking for last minute couches and meet ups. Together we just did a summer school in Athens where we shot a documentary about community organised cultural spaces in Athens and since then we have been on the road for over a month to celebrate my girlfriend’s graduation! Hit us up!! A little about me then: I am Ylvali, a 22 year old from Sweden currently studying in The Hague. I love to meet new people and to be surrounded by light hearted and curious people, especially other women! I travel to learn about the different ways life can be experienced and this is what I seek here as well. I find travelling infinitely more interesting when you have locals around to peak into what they like and hate in a city, how they socialize and meet their friends, what their favourite spots to eat are, and everything in between. As I’d like to think that liking to travel is not a personality trait, my other hobbies consist of all things creative- I paint, draw, make jewellery, do graphics and more. And also designing and occasionally giving out tattoos to friends but that’s a story for another day. I also love reading and writing and going to the cinemas, especially smaller independent cinemas! If you’re open to going on long walks that will take double the estimated time because we can’t stop talking and laughing, swimming in lakes and waterfalls, chasing sunsets, we will probably get along well!!! I would love to connect and visit or host you:)

I’m Brazilian living in the Netherlands, where the language is my main challenge. I’m looking for new friends, who have the patience to help me with English 😅 I love getting to know cute cafes, conversations about philosophy and the mysteries of life. I currently work with holistic therapy, so developing people and aromatic plant are my great passion. I like to read, watch movies/series, practice yoga and go out dancing.

I was sad to leave Amsterdam in which I stayed for a week. I mostly walked around but sometimes I took train/tram for further distances. Not one time did I meet someone rude or mean. Everyone was really friendly. I stayed at 2 different hostels, one was really good but bad location. The other had a good location but wasn't really it. I didn't eat out a lot because I was on a tight budget but you can definitely enjoy the city regardless. Only one time when I was walking home late at night (11pm) did I feel unsafe, there was a guy following me but when I filmed myself talking (like a vlog) he disappeared. Nothing else made me feel unsafe. I really recommend going there 🌸
Posted: September 15, 2024Experienced: August, 2024Amsterdam has a lot to offer from culture to nightlife. I was out as a female most nights clubbing and drinking and felt safe. The transportation is also really easy to figure out. A lot of people bike but the tram is easy too.

From time to time men were a bit unsettling, they catcalled me and one of them even sent a kiss at me from across the canal. However, I didnt feel that scared since most streets were crowded and there were many other people. It was a bit expensive but cheaper than I thought. Many many different kinds of people but still I really liked the city and enjoyed my every second there

Amsterdam is a great city to visit alone. It's pretty small and easily walkable, lots of museums, nature spots, street food, beer You can rent a bicycle and ride like the locals or take a subway or tram. Out of town trains are always on time and not expensive. I loved it in Amsterdam
