About Me
Iโm a Dutchie, originally from country side Drenthe (Province North of the Netherlands), but living in Rotterdam since 2016. In 2021 I was able to buy my own small apartment in a suburban area outside the center. 20 min by metro and youโre downtown. Iโve done two internships in the US, lived in Brussels, Belgium for almost 7 years and traveled alone in South America for 4 months. Iโm currently single and no kids or pets (cat/dog on photo are from friends of mine) I work as a meeting organizer for mostly pharmaceutical business and get to travel to nice destinations at times. I would not mind staying longer sometimes to check out the destination, so hope to make some contacts to make it more fun and get the most out of a visit. Iโm also open to host, although I have no experience yet, but Iโm super social and always like to show around my friends. Ask me anything!

Solo travel experience
I went to Rotterdam for a day trip and loved it. However, one day is definitely enough to see everything. They have cool bridges to see along with their observation tower (Euromast) and the cubic houses were interesting. Great food and great people.
Posted: May 4, 2023Solo travel experience
I went to Rotterdam for 4 nights last summer and had a lot of fun. There wasnโt that much in terms of attractions per se but I met so lovely people in my hostel. I really enjoyed myself. I also took a day trip to see the big windmills in Kinderdijk which I highly recommend.
