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.

My name is Manon (35) from Rotterdam. I've been hosting and meeting up with people trough couchsurfing for years. But this weekend a female traveler that I hosted recommended this app to me and I must say I love the Vibes ♥️ I love to solo travel and will mostly be on a roadtrip around Europe when on vacation. When im home I host travelers on couchsurfing and hopefully soon here. About me, I love seeing bands live our going to a festival and am a major foodie. Recommendations for restaurants our local bands are verry appreciated. I love to meetup with people on my solo trips to get to know the country and the culture more. For me that could be something simple as just meeting up for coffee and a chat, our joining me for on the roadtrip to go an adventure 🌳🌊🍸🏖️🚙

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 :)

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.

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!)
Based on 169 experiences
i felt pretty safe overall during the day, never had any weird experiences. the only time i felt unsafe was of course in the evening while i was out and about with friends i met at the hostel. a lot of men were creepy, stared and said weird things. i found the city as a whole wonderful, i fell in love with amsterdam. the way the city is set up with the houses and canals feels so nice and i like that you can practically bike everywhere. there‘s a lot of diversity with cafés, restaurants (of different cultures), thrift shops, clubs, & activities !
