Personal Description

I have been living in Amsterdam for about 12 years. I fell in love with cities and made my passion for traveling and cities my job!

I now run with my husband a series of cityblogs that offers travelers the opportunity to experience cities just like a local.

On the 23 cityblogs real locals write about the spots they regularly frequent in their city.

So you are looking for my hidden spots in Amsterdam, and I'm not in town to show you around, check it out:)!

How I Participate in CS

I like to share my experience of my travels with everybody. I like to give people local tips about Amsterdam.

CouchSurfing Experience

Very positive!! I met a lot of wonderful people for a coffee or a drink and they all taught me a lot about their country and city!

Interests

Cities, Music, Yoga, Traveling, Sailing, Skiing, Art&culture,concerts... and many more:)!

Philosophy

Keep discovering...
