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 41 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...

Types of People I enjoy

What do these numbers mean?

This summary is not a replacement for reading references; it's a quick summary to help you get started. At a glance, you can see how many references a member has, and how many of them are positive, neutral, and negative.

In the second line, you'll see how many references came from people who hosted this member, surfed with them, and traveled with them. These numbers won't always add up to the total: some references are not categorized, and some may be categorized as more than one thing.

When viewing this summary, don't jump to conclusions! Things that are negative for one person may be positive for another, and vice versa. It's important to read references carefully and evaluate what that information means to you.

I admire Sanne's project Spotted by Locals and I'm proud that now I can be a part of this. I'm sure that writing articles about Krakow will help me to re-discover my city. And I cannot wait till we meet in person, somewhere ;-)
