Eliza

Hi, I am Eliza I’m 21 and I have the plan to travel this upcoming half year. I will do most of this alone but would really like meeting as much new people and cultures. I want to go to the nog so famous places and really enjoy the culture of that country. On my planning is that I will start in Austria then go to Italy then Greece and final destination Croatia. I want to do this on a very small budget and will probably interrail the most.

Arianne

Can host for 3 days

I just started to do my own '12Stedentocht' - a walking tour through all the (capitals of the) provinces in The Netherlands on a small budget, and I am looking for likeminded people and places to stay. Creative, independent, joyful, open. I value freedom, joy, kindness. Walking, wandering, wondering, pondering. Being. City, nature, offgrid, on/off the road. Books. Thinking. About thinking (etc). Camping. Open Fire. Storm. Sun. Snow. Art, photography, indie music, arthouse movies. Single at Heart. Know thyself. Serious. Silliness 🙃 [ Ik ben net aan mijn eigen '12Stedentocht' begonnen, een wandeling door/langs alle (hoofdsteden van de) Nederlandse provinciën. Ik werk onderweg, maar altijd net genoeg om rond te komen - er is nog zo veel meer te doen en te zien! Leuk om gelijkgestemde mensen te ontmoeten en helemaal fijn om bij ze te kunnen overnachten ]

Asmin

Can host for 2 days

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!)

Emma

Hi, I’m Emma. Dutch, 29 years old. Mom of Noedel (cat mom haha). I work as a speech and language therapist at an elementary school in Rotterdam. I live in an 2 floor apartment in the city centre of Dordrecht. I love visiting nature and cultural and historical places. Im into healthy (and unhealthy) food. I’m not a big drinker, but on a holiday I enjoy a nice glass of wine with diner or a cocktail at the bar. I like the occasional party but I consider myself more a person who likes to be active during the day. Are you like minded? I would love to get in touch. Emma.

Saskia

Hello! I’m Saskia, a third culture kid & I love traveling all over whenever I am able to. I usually come packed with a book or two, and love sitting at a café with a strong good coffee, observing people passing by and wondering where their feet might take them next. I’m very friendly, open minded, easy to deal with, a great listener, curious, and I just really enjoy meeting new people.

Magdalena

Hi! I am from Poland but I currently study neuropsychology in Amsterdam and I live in a small city (but very beautiful!) next to it :) Feel welcome to visit me! I like challenges and trying new things. I am open person but at the beginning I may seem to be quite shy 🙈 I loooove traveling and getting to know another cities. I always want to experience immersion in a culture so I like to meet locals or go to not very ‘tourist’ places. I am a person with whom you can have a deep conversation and also drink so much wine that we will die because of hangover next day 😉

See all

fernanda

hello! I am traveling on my own for the first time, and want to experience meeting new people, I am also visiting friends and family all over europe, so the few places where I'll really be by myself, CS seems like a great way to be friendly and travel on a budget. I work as a psychologist so I love talking and listening to people, and also have no issue keeping to myself and going out most of the day, so I only require a place to sleep and hopefully cook something simple at the end of the day. I hope this little introduction gives you an idea of my visit and we get to meet :) Thanks anyway for your disposition as host and if you ever visit Chile or Latinamerica count on me to help, host and give you useful information!

The Netherlands are super safe and the majority of people speak English, so I was able to get directions if needed. Plus their public transport is amazing, it's so easy to get from city to city!
