Groups I Belong ToCouch Information
Couch Available: Yes Preferred Gender: Any Max Surfers Per Night: 4
Shared Sleeping Surface: Depends Shared Room: DependsWe have an attic room for guests. where there is a sofabed and matrasses. If you are more surfers you would have to share the room, otherwise you have some privacy. NOTE:
If you want to send me a CS request, these are things I like in a CS request:
- A personal request (not just can you host us from then to then)
- An indication you read my profile (I live in Utrecht, not Amsterdam!)
- Some information about you, and others.
- Travel details (why Utrecht)
- Please also check our Google Calender, to see if it is possible to host you.
- Remember when you request a couch that you get US with the COUCH, meaning that we would like to get to know you and spend time with you!
Me and Jasper (http://www.couchsurfing.com/people/kilgoretrout, yes he is also on CS!)live in a "bovenwoning", an upperliving. This basically means you have to clime dutch stairs to get properly into our house. We can give couch surfers some privacy, in the attic (more stairs you will have carry your luggage up too :-P).
Our house is pretty close to the trainstation and just next to the multicultural neighbourhood, Lombok. It has a variety of great food and multicultural bussyness!
We are pretty busy with work on weekdays, most of my free time is limited to weekends. When we host we like to spend time with our surfers, get to know them a little bit, and show you the nice places of Utrecht. Exchanging cultures, and food if possible ;-). Its good to remember you get US with the COUCH.
We are active couchsurfers and go to meetings pretty often. When you surf with us there is a prety good chance that there will be a couch surf meeting that we will go to, or just meet up with friends who are couch surfers.
We have a tabby cat, Mees. She is cute but a bit shy to new people, so you might not see much of her at first ;-). She is very good one on one, but when there are more people she doesn't know where her attention should go to.
I don't smoke and Jasper doesn´t either, you can smoke ............. outside. We also don´t drink coffee. We have it for quests who would want it, but we have no idea how to make good coffee, just to warn you ;-)
If you are interested in surfing with us please check our calender to see if we are free.

Some sights of Utrecht I recommend:
Take your time to explore the old city centre, with the warves, old historical buildings and churches.
The DOM tower, highest church tower in the Netherlands and gives you a great view of Utrecht and the unique warfes at the canals.
Kafe België (Cafe Belgium in English). A relaxed cafe with an amazing selection of beers. There are over 20 beers from the tap and over 200 hundred bottled beers.
For dinner I recommend to go to the Oude Muntkelder Pancakehouse. Well every country has pancakes, but we have our own special way. The nice thing about this place is that it is on the warves, at the waterlevel. Typical Dutch and Utrecht.
Then to go out, go either to SJU Jazz Podium or EKKO. SJU has the best friday nights and EKKO has the best saturday nights.
Besides these recommendations there are always festivals and cultural events happening in Utrecht, so you won´t get bored here.
Every month CS people in Utrecht get together at a CS meeting. Check the meetings if your in the neighbourhood when there is a meeting!
More information on CS Utrecht you can find on the CS Utrecht Wiki: http://wiki.couchsurfing.com/en/Utrecht

Personal DescriptionHalf Dutch, Half Swedish, Curious, Enthousiastic, Helpfull, Creative, maybe a bit 'prettig gestoord', always ready to go crazy (in a good way).
Aim to make the world a little better where I can...
How I Participate in CSMe and my boyfriend have teamed up to host people who want to visit the city of Utrecht. I am also active on Hospitality Club with the same nickname.
 Create your own visitor map!
CouchSurfing ExperienceI have both hosted and surfed couches around Europe, both via CS and HC.
I organise the CS meetings in Utrecht, where I meet the other Utrecht CSers. Now that CS Utrecht has grown so much its nice to stay in touch. First I became CS City Ambassador of Utrecht and i wanted to put Utrecht further on the CS map, because it is a great city!
Midsummernight 2008 I hope put Utrecht on the CS map a little bit more. I had so much fun being there and organising it with my Utrecht CS friends.
After a year or so Utrecht is now a very nice and active CS city, where people organise their own meetings too. Now in September i turned Country amb and my focus shifted a little more to help all the city ambs in the Netherlands where i can
I love the idea of Couch Surfing. It alows you to see a country in a much better and real way than if you are just a tourist. You can get into the culture, get to know the real people and they can show you the nice places to go.
When hosting someone you get the feeling of traveling yourself, and you are the guide and can show your guest the best parts of your city.
So far I made some great friends while surfing. Couchsurfing is a way to make your world a little smaller...or bigger which ever way you look at it. Kindred spirits find each other on CS! InterestsSweden
To really learn the Swedish language i was an EVS volunteer in Växjö, Sweden. Sweden is a big passion of mine. Still need to go to the north of Sweden in summer though, on my wishlist.
VIA
Beside voluntering for CS I do more volunteerwork at VIA (http://www.stichtingvia.nl), the Dutch branch of SCI (www.sciint.org). SCI is a peace organisation which aims to improve the world in a practical way by organising international volunteer projects, the motto is: Deeds and Words.
For 2 to 3 weeks an international group of volunteers work together to bring something good to a local community.
It has many similarities with Couch Surfing, especially experiencing the real culture of a country/region. You meet the locals!
Improvisation
Everybody should try impro theatre!! You can go crazy, let go. but it is also about listening to each other and working together towards something great. Its great to use in the real world too.
In General
The best times I have just socialising with my friends, play board games, going out, to a concert, partying or just hanging out.
PhilosophyCreativity is a choice, not a giftMusic, Movies, BooksI am one of the biggest fans of my boyfriends Ska band Stampede, check them out: www.stampedeska.nl. Other than that I like music that makes me feel good inside and makes me want to dance and sing. Fill in the blanks yourself.
As for movies, this varies a little, for my femine side i have the pride and prejudice miniserie. For my intellectual side I like movies that keep you thinking, even when the movie is finished. For example The Butterfly effect (directors cut).
Movies tips: Little Miss Sunshine, Labyrinth of the Faun, Harry Potter and the order of the Phoenix
Books: Last book i finished was "A place called here" by Cecilia Ahern. Nice story with a supernatural twist.Types of People I enjoyAll kinds, all cultures. I just love to break the prejudices by meeting the individual people of the countries, which makes you see that they are almost always not true.One Amazing Thing I've Seen or DoneOne holiday me and my boyfriend missed the bus from Poland, while i had to be back in the Netherland the next day. With a little help from my friends we bribed a conductor into the nighttrain to Brussels. We even had Couchettes!Opinion on the CouchSurfing.org ProjectBe carefull, it can take over your life ;-)!Locations TraveledTRAVELED: Belgium, Czech Republic, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Hungary, Luxembourg, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Romania, Slovakia, Spain, Sweden, Turkey, United Kingdom LIVED: Netherlands, Sweden WANTS TO GO: Croatia References
From Mark Roskam Oss, Netherlands Nov 18 Positive Nice person, and a good talker and listener. Nice to have around.
From Timo Bouerdick Dortmund, Germany Nov 9 Positive We really had a great games weekend together.Liza is an inspiring and energetic person with an open heart.
When you meet Liza and Jasper you surely get the idea of what all the good in CS is about.
Btw: I rebuild arrgh!tekt... so maybe i bring it to rotterdam ;)
From Alise Laķe Haarlem, Netherlands Oct 14 Positive I smile when remember the weekend I spent together with Liza and Jasper in Utrecht. :)
I am an Erasmus exchange student in Netherlands and my aim is to explore Netherlands as much as possible and thanks to these two lovely people I explored Utrecht. Thank you! I had a nice chill-out weekend as well. :)
First ride with a bike and that was fun! Thanks for watching me out and waiting behind traffic lights!! :)
And thank you for introducing to other couchsurfers and showing me the nice ideology of CS! :)
Hope to meet you again!
From Anna Keenan Brisbane, Australia Oct 11 Positive Liza and Jasper are a great pair - really friendly, happy, enthusiastic and welcoming. They are busy during the week but this suited me fine as it left me lots of room to do my work. Their attic is cosy and lovely, and their sofa bed one of the most comfortable around. I loved watching Dutch comedy with them (in English, due to my lack of bi-lingualness!) and sharing my kidney-bean-pie recipie with them, even if the cheese didn't really melt and I used waaaay too much beans for the depth of the pot. (Sigh... recipie fail!)
They're deep into the CS community and Jasper gives an excellent, entertaining historical tour of all the prettiest places (and best beer bars) in Utrecht.
Love the political discussion, too. :)
And wow - biggest coincidence ever... they've hosted Alice Broos from Brisbane before - just saw it in their references. She's a friend of mine from waaaay back - we're both science-nerds! :)
From Sander Odijk Haarlem, Netherlands Oct 1 Positive She came to my dinner party and stayed the night as well. It was inspiring to hear the stories of an experienced CS-er, hope to meet her again!
From Adam Hanson Duluth, United States Sep 21 Positive Liza and Jasper were great hosts as well as good people to sit and chat with. It was a short stay, but a good one, especially for my first couch surfing! Hope to run into you guys in Utrecht next time I'm in!
From Kirin Bhalla Auckland, New Zealand Sep 8 Positive Surfed with Liza for two days. Liza is one of the most calm and relaxed persons that I have met. She always has a smile on her and is a very positive person. One cannot help but be happy with her! It was a very short but fantastic time that I had with Liza and Jasper and I would love to have been able to spend more time. Thanks Liza!
From Anna Maria Mrozińska Warsaw, Poland Aug 28 Positive Liza was very kind as a host. We did not have much time to spend together, as she was working and my and my friends were extremely eager to see the most of Amsterdam, which is not the city where Liza actually lives. However, in spite of her local patriotism :), she turned out to be quite understanding when it comes to our intercity trips. I guess that what really brought us all together was the fact that we all are deeply rooted in "education system". Oh, well... :D
From Barry Lawrence Chester, United Kingdom Aug 23 Positive I had a great time in Utrecht with Liza and Jasper. They are very easy to talk to and get to know, and make you feel at home straight away.
Jasper spent some time with me showing me around the city, I had apple & cheese pancakes, met some of their friends and partied hard on the last night.
If you are in Utrecht, then do yourself a favour and stay with Liza & Jasper!!
Oh, and watch out for Mees when he gets excited!! Cheers for letting me stay guys!!
Baz
From Jessica Sicard Vleuten, Netherlands Aug 16 Positive I stayed at Jasper and Liza's house after a CS picnic and outing at Ekko, a local club in Utrecht. They were great company and showed me and a friend around town a bit. Oh, and they have a beautiful and lovely cat! :)
From Tristan Cleveland Montreal, Canada Aug 13 Positive Lisa has a personality which is immediately likable. She strikes me as being truly kind. It was great staying with her and Jasper because I felt their personalities were really complimentary. Their's a warm atmosphere in their house that I will remember fondly.
From Anick-Marie Bouchard Bremen, Germany Jul 22 Positive I first met her briefly in Vienna, but I was also hosted by her during the Middersommernight week-end where she was an active organizer. I consider myself lucky - the couch was comfy, the hosts are cozy and the cat is.. a cat :) The ambiance at her place was nice, with a lot of guests around, and even if I went to sleep quite early I wasn't bothered at all. Thanks for this fantastic week-end!
From Isaac Olson Bangkok, Thailand Jul 21 Positive Liza and her boyfriend were great. They are really energetic and make good conversation. They are very clean and polite. They were even so kind as to bring us some cheese from the Netherlands. We had fun talking with them and playing a game.
From Richard for real Lund, Sweden Jun 22 Positive Surfing at Liza's place was one of my most "professional" CS experiences. I say this only in a positive sense, of course. Event though Liza was super busy with a huge CS event, she found time to chat with me and find some things for me to do. Liza is very friendly and seems to know her way around all sorts of people. See you in Sweden!
From Michalis Maroulakis Amsterdam, Netherlands Jun 21 Positive Thanx for organising the Midsummernight 2009!!
From Lorene Bouboushian New York, United States Jun 11 Positive Liza organized the Couchsurfing meeting I attended in Utrecht. As a newbie to Couchsurfing, I was impressed by her energy and I really appreciated how welcome she made me feel. :)
From Arjan Koetsier Gouda, Netherlands Jun 9 Positive It was very nice to meet this happy girl! I've met Liza on a CS meeting in R'dam.
From Alice Broos Brisbane, Australia Jun 8 Positive I have so many memories of my time staying with Liza and Jasper and they're all fantastic! Thanks for letting me stay for the couple of days with Koninginnenacht and dag as I'll remember the VetBoi Slim Dans Klup for a very very long time ;-)
I was also constantly amazed at how active the CS community is in Utrecht and a large part of it are these two hard workers!
Oh and I hope you guys get to see The Cat Empire live sometime!!!
From Robyn Schenk Wellington, New Zealand Jun 6 Positive Liza is a genuinely great person to be around - her fun and bubbly nature is infectious, which makes for a great stay in Utrecht. I'll never forget my first CS meeting that she and Jasper took me to, and the dinner out of GIANT pannenkoeken followed by board games - awesome!
From Sytse Van Der Veen Arnhem, Netherlands Jun 5 Positive met you now :) and you were exactly what your profile radiates a couchsurfing pro. didn't get to talk to you mutch but the first impressions were certainly very nice. Hope to see you again on the next events.
From MURPHYMANIA Goettingen, Germany Jun 2 Positive Liza and Jasper are wonderful hosts. They seem to know every single person in Utrecht and socialize a lot so it never gets boring. You'll go home with plenty of new friends.If you have a longboard take it with you. Liza has strong legs and can pull you around town if you manage to hold on to her bike. Great fun!
From Jingfen Sun Stuttgart, Germany Jun 1 Positive she is a very nice and kind host. we cooked in her kitchen together, chated alot about our travel, and also Campus of university Utrecht, which was her Alma Mater and one of my major viewpoint for the travel in Utrecht as archi student. she has a very cute cat. it's so pity that we didn't play together,cause i fear of all cats &dogs. Liza is very comprehensive and understood what i feel, she explained & introuduced its character , made me feel more easy :).
during the supper, we talked about our travel plan, she& Jasper gave us some useful advice and Information about Belgium.it was a very nice night with them.
From Sophia Luliu Haidian, China May 31 Positive Liza and Jasper are both open and active! It was really nice to have 'night snack' with them:) Besides, I was so happy to find lots of lovely things around their sweet place, incl. little Mees (sorry we made a mistake in the guestbook...) :D
From Kaitlyn Evanko-douglas Montrose, United States May 25 Positive Liza and Jasper were really nice. We planned on staying with them one night but like it so much we stayed two! Liza made us feel comftorable immediately and taught me how to ride on the back of a bike (even though it didn't turn out so well). Overall it was a very positive experience.
From LOVELYSUNDAYMORNINGINTHESUN Stuttgart, Germany May 25 Positive Durin' college a lot of deep night on the weekends, lovely confersations
Not seeing each other a lot at all... but when then a beautifull time.
And although far away now, still appriciate you as one of my best friends ever.
From Daniele Sciretti Barcelona, Spain Apr 30 Positive Liza surfed our place (together with Jasper) for just one night, and we could spend together just a couple of hours. We shared a pleasant dinner though, and it was great to hear about all their CS experiences!
From Riikka Lätti Oslo, Norway Apr 22 Positive Such a fantastic host in the pretty city of Utrecht! Stayed at Liza and Jasper's home over a night. During my brief stay I was introduced to other CSers, their cute little cat and Dutch tv (am still fascinated about wipeout!). Liza and Jasper are generous and open-minded people. Kiitos, takk, thanks so much!
From Isa McKechnie Utrecht, Netherlands Apr 4 Positive Liza is incredibly active in the Utrecht CS community, I can't even begin to imagine how much of her time goes into hosting people, organising events, facilitating meetings, and simply having a blast when it comes to being in touch with other human beings. Can't say much more except that I'm sure she's a model CS ambassador if there ever was one :)
From George McCargar Portland, United States Mar 10 Positive I stayed a couple of nights with Liza and Jasper, and it was great. I didn't see Liza that much (she worked late, sad!), but it was really great hanging out during the brief time I was able to spend with her.
From FOTOMIEP Groningen, Netherlands Feb 14 Positive when Jasper brought me home along with two other surfers she didn't even blink. She can make you feel welcome in a very 'normal' and natural way, without making a big fuss about it.
From Irene Schlatter Santiago, Chile Jan 30 Positive I stayed with Liza and her boyfriend Jasper for one night. She was so nice to pick me up at the station in Utrecht. I went back to the city to do bit of sightseeing and when I came back she had already cooked dinner. Later, there was the "music quiz" meeting at their flat, which was a cool idea of Jasper. I liked the friendly couple and their cosy place... and their cat was lovely, too!
From Lydia Bossers Utrecht, Netherlands Jan 30 Positive Liza is a great person to be around with. She is happy and friendly person, who enjoys live.
From Roland Wollweber Ludwigshafen, Germany Jan 8 Positive First i mailed Liza an invitation for our national Ambassador meeting and then i went to the Rotterdam Sinterklaas, but there it was too crowded to speak each other. In Berlin outside the Wintercamp then we had the chance to met in a quiet Cafe with games and we spend a nice evening there. Liza is very relaxed and i hope we will met in 2009 again on some CS meetings/events again.
From Andrew McCargar Berlin, Germany Jan 5 Positive After meeting at Berlin Winter Camp I watched Lisa and her furry friends battled for the justice as "The Utrecht 3" masked crime fighting team. Sadly after foiling many a formidable German evildoer they were unable to repeat their success at table tennis.
From Eveline Nelissen Sittard, Netherlands Jan 5 Positive Although we both live in Holland, we prefer to meet only in Berlin :-P
Being around Liza and her boyfriend feels comfortable!
From Liga Pilaga Riga, Latvia Jan 3 Positive I met Liza in Berlin winter camp 2008. We didn`t spend much time together, but nevertheless in small talks we had I got very positive impression about Liza and got desire to leave a reference here:)
Liza is sincere person, she (also Jasper)is truly interested in other people and eager to bring people together and make the world a better place.
I do hope to have chance to surf Liza`s & Jasper`s couch and hang around with them some day while exploring beautiful country of the Netherlands.
From Irina Simanova Utrecht, Netherlands Dec 14, 2008 Positive Liza is a great host!
I am happy that my first CouchSerfing experince was a serfing at her place. She and Jasper inspired me with the "phylosophy" of this community. I realised what fun it is to meet so nice, open-minded, funny, crazy people - like Liza is!
From Laura Gilhuis Utrecht, Netherlands Dec 11, 2008 Positive Liza makes you feel welcome at the CS meetings in Utrecht.
From Peter Christiaens Berlare, Belgium Dec 9, 2008 Positive We had some nice chats in the pub and I hope welcoming her once at the cs meetings in Belgium.
From JP1978 Amsterdam, Netherlands Dec 2, 2008 Positive Weird how we still hardly personally met, when we are both pretty involved in CS and have been at some same meetings. So far I have a good impression of her, especially from when she came to our Groningen monthly meetings, because she seems friendly, and sincere and simple in her approach to CS.
From Veronique Vanonckelen Gent, Belgium Dec 2, 2008 Positive Liza has sweet written al over her... it's impossible not to adore her when you meet her. Her bubbly and almost always smiling face works infectuous on a crowd!
Definetly looking forward to meet her again when I come to Utrecht (not too long from now :))
Update: Surfing with her and Jasper was wonderfull... Nutty and Hedgy made sure that I wasn't bored for a second!
From BEHIWUE Würzburg, Germany Dec 1, 2008 Positive We met at the Sinterklaas Meeting in Rotterdam and had great fun.. I got her present at the Event and loved so much the cute monkey bag!! Won't forget this unforgettable meeting.. See you soon, Sweetie!
From RIS_EZ Terrassa, Spain Nov 19, 2008 Positive We hosted Liza and Jasper just before we left for holidays: she's open-minded and active. Unfortunately we were busy and we'd loved to spend more time with them showing them around, but they did it really well: they even went to a CS meeting in Barcelona.
From Paul Wouters Rotterdam, Netherlands Nov 6, 2008 Positive Liza is one of the most active members of the CS community. She's always in a good mood and willing to help people out. It's always fun to meet up! :)
From STEFF Toulouse, France Oct 30, 2008 Positive I hosted Liza and her boyfriend Jasper in Toulouse in July. Though they stayed only for a night, I thoroughly enjoyed their company and our exchanges over diner and drinks. Discussing with those two is a great pleasure plus they are just as curious and passionate about CS than I am - I look forward to the next time we cross paths :)
From Shawn VP Banff, Canada Oct 21, 2008 Positive I was hosted (along with a friend) by Liza and Jasper and would have to say it was an all round positive experience. Though we didn't get much time together, it was enough to draw positive conclusions!
Liza is a great gal, she always seems to have a smile on her face which is always conducive to a nice time out! It's to bad we didn't have more of a chance to chat.
From Jeff and Dennea Lambert Munich, Germany Oct 19, 2008 Positive Liza and Jasper hosted me and a friend for two nights in Utrecht. They are a wonderful couple who are true CSers. We had a great time just wandering the city and taking in the beautiful architecture and scenery. They took us to a Bokbierfestival with other CSers and I'll always remember riding the bicycles back. Your always around good people, good music and good times with Liza and Jasper.
From JANA_B_BERLIN Berlin, Germany Oct 16, 2008 Positive I met Lisa and her boyfriend Jasper on my combined walking/bicyling-tour for the Opening of FESTIVAL of LIGHTS. We on the bikes met the walkers on each point and then had some chats about the places and Berlin-stories. Also Lisa assisted me with my photographing and protected the tripod as a "bodyguard" in that chaotic crowd at Unter den Linden/Bebelplatz ;-) THANKS a lot for your help. I felt much more comfortable and safe. I'm sorry I did this never ending cursing all the time because the camera didn't want to work. The camera came back to life only at the Brandenburg Gate later. This long Sit-In at the Gendarmenmarkt was awesome. Like in my old student days. I'm so sorry, that you had to leave at that point because of going back to Utrecht. And I would have liked to see you more often before. Maybe we have a chance at Berlin WinterCamp??? Would love it! If you need a host.... just ask ;-)))
From Daaf Samson Utrecht, Netherlands Oct 2, 2008 Positive I had a lot of fun on the 'Casino Fatal' evening, and of course Liza was there, since it was in 'her town'. She seems very nice and pillar to the Utrecht CS community!
From BARON_HNZ Utrecht, Netherlands Oct 2, 2008 Positive She also was ill and showed up at the roleplay event Casino Fatale, so we had something in common. ;)
We had lots of fun at the evening and she can dance very good! :P
From Emilia Varmavuori Jyvaskyla, Finland Oct 2, 2008 Positive Liza is Utrecht's gift to CS :) She's intelligent, friendly and definitely worth meeting. I have the feeling that with more time we could have extremely interesting conversations, so I can't wait seeing her again!
From Wessel Wensink Utrecht, Netherlands Oct 2, 2008 smiling, active and lovely blond little girl/women, who's social and fun!
From Opher Vishnia Jerusalem, Israel Sep 27, 2008 Positive I was very fortunate to surf with Liza and Jasper. It was the night of a CS meeting/Monty Python night. Movies were watched, reenactments were made and there was much rejoicing. Liza's sweet and welcoming, and well worthy of her ambassadory title!
From IL FOLLE VIAGGIATORE Brisbane, Australia Sep 23, 2008 Positive great time...I never have a couch experience like this one...
I just arrive in Utrecht and i was part in a couch group, around 8 person,and Jasper&Liza they was organising a tour of the city..
really really really nice!!!! they are 2person that represent this website in the BEST way I have ever seen...
I just regret to have too short time to spend with them...
Jasper be worry I'll training until I'll beat the pancake record!!
From Linda Bouwmeester Hilversum, Netherlands Sep 18, 2008 Positive Wow... I know I'm really bad in writing refs.. And then I get a beautifull ref from you!
Liza is just a great girl! And I love just being around her! She's so full of energie! And so busy with CS! She's always everywhere!!
From Jo Steeghs Utrecht, Netherlands Sep 12, 2008 Positive Liza's dedication and enthusiasm for couchsurfing is amazing. Her warm personality together with her hard work have helped to create a wonderful community in Utrecht for everyone to enjoy. Thank you to Liza and her team :)
From Aldo Golja Rotterdam, Netherlands Sep 9, 2008 Positive I've met Lisa at several gatherings and ambassador gatherings. Lisa is pretty straight forward, active and sociable. As an active CS ambassador of Utrecht she has many stories about great CS adventures with Jasper. I'm looking forward to getting to know her better!
From Daan Nijs Berlin, Germany Aug 30, 2008 Positive Had a nice experience surfing at her place, very friendly attitude. See you soon, and good luck!
From Otto Kool Utrecht, Netherlands Aug 30, 2008 Positive We talked about Swedish people. It was interesting. Liza seems to be someone who has eyes in the back of her head to check if everyone is doing well, which makes her a good ambassador!
From HECTORUPS San Francisco, United States Aug 26, 2008 Positive Despite some unexpected problems she found in Madrid, i think she enjoyed her stay. I wasn't the las 2 days with her, but i had fun hanging out with her the first 2. Another thing i realized about her is that she doesnt like the sp train stations (but the sp train stations dont like her either).
see you in any of the upcoming CS meetings!
From FerFIDALGO Barcelona, Spain Aug 23, 2008 Positive Hosting this couple, was the easiest for me, getting to know them, was difficult because I just met them for a day, but they are trully the CS spirit, they were a charming and well-behaved, respectful couple ever to visit my place.
From Anjo Sterringa Nava, Spain Aug 19, 2008 Positive Liza and Jasper are a very nice couple. The first night they saved our day by bringing the wine - we had forgotten it was a holiday ;).
From Anneke Van Kuyk Bowen, Australia Jul 27, 2008 Positive It was great to randomly meet a someone with the same surname via couch surfing. (not too many Van Kuyks in New Zealand!) The more i learn about couch surfing the more im impressed and Liza is a perfect example of couch surfing at its best. She's always running around organising something fun - i wonder how she holds down a job too!??
From Jacob Pearce Melbourne, Australia Jul 9, 2008 Positive Liza and Jasper are some of the best CS hosts around! Liza deserves the title of a CS ambassador. They are very welcoming, friendly, generous and interesting. They are intelligent minds and free spirits worthy of a couch. Thanks so much for making my stay in Utrecht so good. I'm always going to be looking for "the Utrecht" in every country I visit from now on! All the best, hope to see you both in Australia!
From Fernando~! Monterrey, Mexico Jun 25, 2008 Positive Jasper & Lisa are the greatest CS Host ever! We had a great time surfing their couch. Few times have one the opportunity to meet such a nice and friendly couple, who welcomes you not only in their house with other several CS but organize also a big party in the city! They both treated us with a hospitality along with giving you the opportunity to get to know the very special Netherlands culture through the most fantastic way, a treasure hunting! all the best & thank you again for your effort & commitment. Hopefully we will see each other again soon* either Netherlands or Mexico!
From MACHITA75 Oslo, Norway Jun 24, 2008 Positive Liza and Jasper hosted me and my 2 friends for the midsummer party that was arranged in Utrecht. They are great hosts and they have a wonderful home. I felt welcome and well at all time in their company.
Liza is a great girl and she is lively and fun to be around.
Thank you so much for your hospitality and hope to see you for New Years in Oslo !
From MISHIMI Rotterdam, Netherlands Jun 23, 2008 Positive I had the pleasure to go to the midsummer night at the park she helped to organise and she and Jasper hosted me for the night. I found her energetic and friendly but we never got to talk much.
