Iām 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 youāre downtown. Iāve done two internships in the US, lived in Brussels, Belgium for almost 7 years and traveled alone in South America for 4 months. Iām 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. Iām also open to host, although I have no experience yet, but Iām super social and always like to show around my friends. Ask me anything!
