General Information
LanguagesGroups I Belong ToCouch Information
No couch currently available for surfing. Just Couch IT
My couch is a is actually a two persons futon! I think its comfy!!! In the house there are also two airbeds available.
Currently I am moving to the Pijp which is around a 15 minute walk from Leidseplein and a ten minute bus ride from CS station. We unpacked the sleeping equipment but the majority is still in boxes hope yas don't mind.
Just a note It would be awesome if you would come to Amsterdam to visit the city and maybe get to know some other cool couchsurfers within Amsterdam. I geuss I am kind of a social bird but there's always room for you to tagg allong! Its really fun!
If you are only in Amsterdam to visit the coffee shops and just want to chill in the house the whole time ... you may want to search for another host. Looking for fun search no further ;)HIGHFIVE
Amsterdam is a very busy city and all hosts get heaps of requests. So I geuss its important for you to have the following things in order
1. Have a complete filled out profile (inclusive pictures)
2. Write a personalized request
3. Be original with your request as couches in Amsterdam are wanted during summer time
5. Mention the word hobbit in your couch surfing request topic!
** when you receive an empty request I am not able to host currently Amsterdam is really populair and its hard to answer all the emails with an extensive answer. But please do send me your requests **
Hope to hear from you all! Its A NICE!

From Ranil Korf Amsterdam, Netherlands Oct 13 Positive I nice lady with a travel heart and a purpose in life. Its a pity she leaves to prague but If I will be in town there i definitely will visit her.
From JAMIE ADAMS Haslemere, United Kingdom Oct 6 Positive Surfed with Rose and Adam in Amsterdam for queens day. Had a Great time, consumed too much, but thats gotta be done.

From Jesus Herrera Prague, Czech Republic Oct 2 Positive Great girl, really open to receive people and make them feel at home!. I really had a great time partying at her place and sharing with local couchsurfers! see you in Prague!
From MaaikeMaria Amsterdam, Netherlands Sep 25 Positive Rose. Such a shame that she'll leave soon, caus' what a rich addition to this neighbourhood and my life she is!
So genuine and warm, smart and sensitive. The kind of person that naturally gives you a feeling of comfort. I guess the word that would describe her the best is Loyal with a big L.
If you'll ever get the change to meet her, invest, make sure you'll be in the moment, and you'll have a memorable experience.
A beautiful soul, a true gift to CS!
From Michael Lussier Winnipeg, Canada Sep 22 Positive Rose was unbelieveable, she responded to our last minute request within a few minutes, saving us from having our first major set back on the trip! She gave us our first taste of amsterdam at night, and was a wonderful person to talk to. Hope your holidays went as awesome as mine did! take care!
From Peter Hildering Amsterdam, Netherlands Sep 21 Positive Rose is a great person to get to know. She is very profound, but can pursue silly fun at the same time.

Keep me updated on where you are and how you feel!

From Robyn Schenk Wellington, New Zealand Jun 1 Positive Rose was my first host for couchsurfing and she really got me hooked. I'll never forget the conversations we had - the first intelligent/philosophical I'd had for a while!

From Flapic Rome, Italy Apr 26 Positive Rose is just great! While she hosted me in Amsterdam, and also after it, I loved meeting her, hanging out with her, cooking for her, talking to her, ... I just can't wait to meet her again!
From Jen Basler Madison, United States Apr 17 Positive Rose is very welcoming and sharing. I enjoyed our candlelit jam session in Vondelpark and getting to know you and meet your awesome friends. Your house was the perfect place for me when I was staying in Amsterdam because I loved coming home to you and Adam and your other couch surfers. I got to meet so many new people through you guys and also you were a good resource for things around the city. I hope to see you again in the future!
From Dirk Frohberger Karlsruhe, Germany Apr 15 Positive It was great to get to know Rose and stay at her place. Thanks for your hospitality and kindness. Hopefully many more couchsurfers will write a nice note in your "new" CS Guestbook ;)
From Greg Althouse Philadelphia, United States Apr 10 Positive Rose is amazingly hospitable, and would do anything she could to be sure that each CSer has a great experience with her! This girl is among more genuine that I've yet to come across, and is not hesitant to share her many opinions. Thanks again for taking care of me, and making sure that my stay in Amsterdam was an enjoyable one!
Do you really think you'd be a hedgehog?! haha... perhaps I'll see you in Philadelphia, Rose :)
From Adriana Wolfe Northampton, United States Apr 9 Positive Rose was an amazingly interesting and lovely host. She's fantastic and engaging. My friend and I had an unbelievable time; it was our first time CouchSurfing, and we had a blast! The apartment is right in the middle of a lot going on: there's an outdoor market every day, there's a tram stop around the block, and most of the museums are within walking distance. Please, do yourself a favor and meet Rose; you will not forget it!
From Trent Blomfield Tuggerah, Australia Apr 7 Positive I met Rose through Adam. They are genuinely awesome and their hospitality is very welcoming. They are really laid back and quite up for a good time.
Thanks for letting me stay at yours. Because of your warm hospitality I had an enjoyable and amazing experience in Amsterdam.
If you make it to Australia. I'd be only too happy to help you out in any way.
Cheers.
From Cihan Keskin Lund, Sweden Apr 2 Positive Rose hosted me and my friend with her great flatmate Adam for two great nights. I have to say their hospitality was more than enough.
Besides I had the chance of seeing a great band because of her. Hope to see her soon again to continue our arguments and learn her ideas as the way she call "for my humble opinion". See you in Istanbul! :)
From Helen Sofie Stein Hamburg, Germany Apr 1 Positive I had one of the nicest couch-suring experiences with Rose. She is incredably welcoming and warm-hearted. She was so kind to introduce us to her closest friends which gave us the opportunaty to get the proper Amsterdam-experience!
For all people who are laid-back, open-minded and enjoy travelling: BEWARE of this couch! haaha
Thanks so much for having us Rose!
From Heather Walker Vermillion, United States Apr 1 Positive Rose is a very genuine person with tons of deep reflections. She's a great host and always made us feel very welcome and cozy. I know that "thanks" is an unnecessary word, but I'm going to throw it in anyways! :) If, Heaven forbid, Adam returns to South Dakota, I'm expecting you to come see the both of us!
From Andreas Kamber Unterlunkhofen, Switzerland Mar 31 Positive It was a great time! Liked to playing werwolf (damn, I always forgot what type I was :D), talking, cooking, standing outside with her and many others!
Rose is a very lovely person. She always try her best for an unforgettable stay (mission 100% fulfilled!). Think she's like a damn cool modern hippie...hope you will bring this hippiness to switzerland!
From Nick Bulka College Park, United States Mar 29 Positive Rose! She hosted me and introduced me to the fine art of couchsurfing. She invited us to a party in Amsterdam that was really fun. We learned a game called werewolf that was sooo entertaining. Rose made everyone feel so cozy even though there were many couchsurfers staying with us at the time. In fact, I'm staying one more night and its great! I hope Rose makes it to D.C. sooner or later!
From ✂-Marie-Line- Villers Oostende, Belgium Mar 23 Positive Rose hosted me, she was really nice as the person that was normally going to host me couldn't lastminute, and she immediately offered her couch as a sollution. She's very active and knows many people, which makes it great to tag along with her. She appreciates and loves her friends a lot and has many lifephilosophies to share. She was a very considerate host, very nice to my friends and open her home for my friends, making delicious food and breakfast, and letting me sleep in her bed, thanks!
From Lukas Kissling Zurich, Switzerland Mar 21 Positive I had a nice discussion with her drinking beer and hanging around! Be aware of the one and only "Gangster" :-)...her hopping licking little bunny! If you wanna know something about Amsterdam...ask Rose, she knows!
From Calebe de Roure Hamburg, Germany Mar 11 Positive Rose is one of the very few people in the world who you can talk about spirituality and she will understand what you mean. I felt very confortable with her. I hope we meet again in this life time!
From Esperanza Obra Castillo Malaga, Spain Mar 11 Positive When you meet Rose the first thing you notice is that she has a lively spirit. She is talkative and has a lot of anecdotes about traveling and travelers. For sure you´ll enjoy staying at her place!!
She knows a lot of CSurfers and when I had no idea of where to sleep the day after she just called a friend of her and sorted it out :-)
Thanks for everything!!
From Sam Goutsmit Oostende, Belgium Feb 9 Positive A Rose by any other name is still a Rose!
Or something like that. Rose hosted us for two days during our Amsterdam trip and she was so much fun to be around. Bouncy, full of enthusiasm and smiles and always falling for guys who abuse her (in a friendly way), you can't ask for a better CS host than Rose!
From Bernard Vander Beken Brugge, Belgium Feb 8 Positive DELETED stuff about positive, open mindend, laid-back Rose since it would be a cliché ;)
"De koelkast is Rose maar Rose is geen koelkast!"
Rose hosted friends and me for a relaxed, surprising, small-moment-ary weekend. We exchanged couchsurfology, people-addictedness, unplanningness, and more. She made me feel right at home in Amsterdam, see you soon in Belgium.
From Dick Schram Amsterdam, Netherlands Feb 6 Positive nice girl, have a chat on thr am*dam cs meeting
From ANNU Berlin, Germany Jan 1 Positive i met rose on a NYEparty in amsterdam and we spend a good time together. she is a warm hearted, friendly person with a lot of power. and she really takes her position as an country embassador very serious - i just felt good around her.
Dont worry about anything, lady - you are doing a great job;O)
From Anne Schopman Amsterdam, Netherlands Dec 22, 2008 Positive Look at her reference list. This girl is a pro. What you see here is what you get. She's a lot of fun and likes to be around other people. Hosting, organising parties and so on. She embodies the couchsurfing project.
From OZ Amsterdam, Netherlands Dec 15, 2008 Positive Rose May is good people. She's so good in fact, you need to pluralize her in order to account for all her awesomeness. She's the moonstone in the extraterrestrial tiara that is Amsterdam.
From Micael Nicollier Basel, Switzerland Dec 5, 2008 Positive Met on the Couchsurfers meeting in Amsterdam and the next day she showed us the city, was pretty funny. Thanks
From VANCOUVERISLANDSURFER Nanaimo, Canada Nov 25, 2008 Positive Rose is a kind host and a down to earth, nice girl. We hung out and talked lots about our travels and everyday stuff, I had a fun time going to a couple of dinner outings with her and friends aswell as other couchsurfers. I had a fun weekend, cheers.
From Anya Whitlock Auckland, New Zealand Nov 10, 2008 Positive Rose was an awesome person to stay and hang with... very open, generous and onto it. We have some awesome memories from Amsterdam- cozy dinners in, interesting encounters with washing machines and good conversation while stomping the streets thanks to Rose May :)
From Nikos Farías Denver, United States Oct 18, 2008 Positive Thanks for the compliment, "music dance box" KNIFE! Rose May was a delight to meet. Warm spirited and very UnDutchable, threw together a little Dinner Party with no notice and just invited us knuckleheads over last min. We were happy to oblige, and help her clean up after.
From Liz Simpson Lexington, United States Oct 8, 2008 Positive Rose is a wonderful host, even when you aren't staying with her! We met through a mutual CS friend who was staying with her at the time, and she welcomed us into her home with no hesitations. She really spent time getting to know us and she was full of suggestions and recommendations on how to spend our time in Amsterdam, even pointing things out on the map and inviting us to a CS party later that week. I feel so lucky to have met her and hope she will surf my couch if she ever makes it to the US!
From Johann Guillou Cergy, France Oct 1, 2008 Positive for my first couchsurfing experience, it was very nice.
Rose and her friends are very funny, homey and really frenzy.
I hope to all rose' couchsurfers, will have the same experience that I have had .
It was very genial, and for sure, i go back as soon as possible.
Inspector Gadget a.k.a Johann
From Guillaume Iskander GERARD-CHERQY Metz, France Sep 30, 2008 Positive I think we couldn't have found anybody as nice as she was during our trip. Caring, smiling, partying, generous, even guitar teaching (!), she kicks the ass of all the f***ing 4 stars hotels of the world ! Looking forward to go back there (we have a rendez-vous, don't forget).
From Brendan Veale Wellington, New Zealand Sep 27, 2008 Positive Rose is a great host, especially for someone who has not couchsurfed before.
She is extremely generous, and has a great group of friends. I met some great people through Rose, and would love to meet up with her again in the not too distant future.
I'm sure my first couchsurfing experience could not have been any better.
Cheers Rose.
From ORANGE SKY Berlin, Germany Sep 25, 2008 Positive She is such a nice girl and her heart beats for the chouchsurfing spirit.
Her enthusiastic character makes it funny to hang around with her and have a drink;)
From BARON_HNZ Utrecht, Netherlands Sep 20, 2008 Positive The dinnerparty at her place was awesome. I drank a lot of wine, enjoyed the meal and had a lot of nice conversations.
And suddenly there where two guitar players, making some great music!
See you next time! ;)
From Carl Dexter Shijiazhuang, China Sep 16, 2008 Positive Thanks for the dinner party!
It was a pleasant night and we enjoyed meeting everyone.
From Maerten Lankelma Amsterdam, Netherlands Sep 11, 2008 Positive what can I say; she's great!!
From Tommy Quist Leiden, Netherlands Sep 7, 2008 Positive Rose May is just the craziest little hobbit I know. You can talk to her about any subject and she makes you feel at home too. Just don't get dragged into any of her ideas for plays.
From Regis Lemberthe Berlin, Germany Sep 2, 2008 Positive I had really nice time traveling with Rose for a day in Marijn's vintage car... Thanks a lot for the ride guys, and see you in A'dam !
From Tomek Glodkowski Poznan, Poland Aug 21, 2008 Positive Rose is positive and sociable person!! We spent in Amsterdam to short time to get to know well each other, but it was really nice time!!I'd like to say thanks for the hospitality for Rose and for her best friend Irene !!:)
From Martin A. Petersen Copenhagen, Denmark Aug 15, 2008 Positive This scrollbar option needs something stronger than positive. Describing my experience with Rose as positive is like calling dark chocolate rather okay: simply not fitting.
Cheesy as it may sound, the picture I have of her on my profile speaks "the truth!" (as Rose would put it).
To go back to the chocolate. Rose is giving in the best way: not just the sweet stuff, but like the good ol' black stuff she also has the rare capacity of mixing just enough bitterness in to enhance the inherent sweetness, thus making me think (about something else than chocolate that is).
If you haven't understood, by now, that meeting Rose is a most excellent idea, you shouldn't waste her time by doing so.
If, on the other hand, you actually want to meet someone unique and truly giving you don't have to look for any other profile.
Or to put it in another way (yeah, I couldn't let this choco-reference go); you're in for a treat.
From Frank van Steenwijk Dublin, Ireland (Republic of) Aug 12, 2008 Positive Rose is a very interesting lady that I actually only met briefly so far. I see her name popping up all the time in my email and therefor it was really interesting and surprising to see that she showed up on a meeting that I organized in Rotterdam. From what I found out about her on that day is that she's a bright personality with a lot of enthousiasm for CS !! What else can you ask for and expect from a Dutch country ambassador! See you again soon !
From mud Houston, United States Aug 11, 2008 Positive Rose is a great ambassador for both Amsterdam and The Netherlands! I had a great time hanging out with her on my few days in Amsterdam. She even opened up her home for dinner for a groupe of CSer's. Thanks again!
Great times are all around this Hobbit!
From Jared Frey Goleta, United States Aug 9, 2008 Positive At first this hobbit mesmerizes you with her strong will and cunning eyes, but soon she softens with the grace of melting butter. Soft like the wind she is not, but one can clearly see has the power to move trees with here aura of fluid motion. Rose flows with matters of life not wavering but molding and she is a master of order within chaos. If you are able to stay with the Gold nugget of love that she is you will fall in love with the world that surrounds her. I wove you Rose.
From Saqib Keval San Francisco, United States Aug 9, 2008 Positive She is a fellow hobbit. An amazing couchsurfing Hobbit queen. What more needs to be said? Make sure you meet her. You'll be a very lucky person.
Hobbit! Im back in california now and im really hoping that our paths cross again soon. You're a wonderful human being!
From Kosta Mijic Belgrade, Serbia Aug 5, 2008 Positive Rose has such a unique style of living, and though it looked a bit weird to me at the beginning (it was my first couchsurfing, too), it turned out to be a very nice experience! One can learn a lot from her, especially about communication and sociology in general. The thing that meant a lot to me is that we were completely independent from her, but were also invited to roll with her when we want, so we did both and it was great.
Rose, I am eagerly waiting for the 'tidy & shiny' picture :) on screen or live... Thanks for everything.
From Luka Mladenovic Belgrade, Serbia Aug 5, 2008 Positive rose is a happy hobit!! (let's copy u - and my amst jasmin :)) me and my friend chilled at her place and she was an amazing host!!! she introduced us with her friends and we had lots of fun in her place. hope i see u soon ;)
From THE LOBSTER GUY Napa, United States Aug 4, 2008 Positive Rose is quite a unique character. Very laid back, patient and easy going to the extreme.
My flight to Amsterdam was delayed and I had the wrong phone number for Rose, so I didn't make our meetup at the train station on time. I got in touch with her a few hours later and was still able to stay with her, an experience I'm very glad to have had.
Rose also has the cutest bunny I've ever seen and a lovely taste in music. Her new flat promises to be quite the hangout spot when the renovations are complete.
I think Rose would agree that she and I are very different in terms of personality, and I hope she agrees with me that I'm very happy to have met her and look forward to meeting again.
From Torsten Sigvertsen Copenhagen, Denmark Aug 2, 2008 Positive Rose is a fellow hobbit of great regard and high spirits! She hosted me on my first time in Amsterdam, and we had a lot of fun hanging out with her friends, meeting other couchsurfers, and other silly things (including but not limited to cooking, guitar playing, and shopping for makeshift hats).

-x-
From Jonas Mandel Paris, France May 19, 2008 Positive She waited a loooong time for this, but it's finally here ! The reference ! I could spend time and use a lot of imagination trying to explain in a nice way what makes Rose such a good friend an a good person (you know, the "she's open minded, she's generous, she's the best host ever,...") but she already has plenty of these stuff in her profile, no need to say again what have been said so often... I just want to say that if you come to amsterdam you really should meet her (I would say you have to if I didn't hate telling people what they have to do). She's awesome ! Really, she's a good cunt ! So Rose, keep on peacing out !
From IRA M. Amsterdam, Netherlands May 19, 2008 Positive she has an increadibly positive energy, can always sense your needs and worries, made my friday night- when i needed a caring listener
From MAINDUSH Chignahuapan, Mexico May 17, 2008 Positive Rose was really friendly and nice with me in the meeting. We talked about our Canadians experiences and we had a really good time chating . I would like to surf her couch one day and cook some Mexican food in her place!!!
From Wanderlust Girl Plaffeien, Switzerland May 17, 2008 Positive Rose welcomed me with open arms and hugged me when she arrived to the meeting, where i had been waiting, eager to meet her. On top of that she took me out all night which was great. Thank you Rose! Hope to meet you again!
From Josie McVitty Auckland, New Zealand May 15, 2008 Positive Rose is a bright and beautiful person :). She has the admirable quality of always putting others ahead of herself and will go out of her way to make sure that you are comfortable and having a great time.
Thanks for making my first Queen's Day so memorable!!
From Karen Truong Toronto, Canada May 15, 2008 Positive What a busy busy girl Rose is! Among her many CS responsibilities and the rest of her busy life, she found the time to attend my very first CS hosting event in Amsterdam. I wish we had more time to get to know each other better but for the one night that we had, Rose was a pleasure to have around!
From Sander Wagter Amsterdam, Netherlands May 13, 2008 Positive Besides the party animal in her, Rose is an intelligent woman capable of great things as long as she has a challenge. She's my kind of a woman: one with 'balls'. Rose is straight forward and doesn't play games (unless it's kinky perhaps ;-). I really intend to enforce her CS activities when I come back!!
From Brad Cridland Calgary, Canada May 7, 2008 Positive So I figured it was time to update my reference for a couple reasons....first I spelled almost every second word wrong in the first attempt and secondly because Rose is that great and we've spent more time together since I left the first one!! I've never seen anyone go out of there way to host/tourguide/be awesome as Rose does every day! I've also heard many similar stories from fellow surfees lucky enough to have surfed it up with Rose. Amsterdam is an amazing city and Rose makes it that much better, I know I will keep coming back for a long time!!
From Paul Wouters Rotterdam, Netherlands May 5, 2008 Positive Rose is an active member of the Amsterdam CS group. She keeps the CS spirit alive in our capital! :D

She is a sharing person who always give when most people just want to take.
Thank you for beeing there for me and every one.
Lots of love
Mike
PS Thank you for all cigarettes
From .kiwi. Rotorua, New Zealand Apr 23, 2008 Positive My friend and I stayed with Rose for over a week and it was AWWWWESOME! It was like meeting an old friend and flatting together.

From Jessica Dullinger Homer, United States Apr 7, 2008 Positive I was in Dam Square and saw the FREE HUG sign.

Was a very unexpected occurance and I think i suprised her. Wished i had more time in Amsterdam so we could hang out, but hopefully will meet her on the road:)
From Nanouk van der Elst Rotterdam, Netherlands Apr 3, 2008 Positive Even though this was the first time i met Rose (i had seen her profile before through Duke, who DOES go to the meetings in Amsterdam) and we only talked for a short time, she seems like such a positive person with a lot of energy and a happy face! This time i will come to the meeting, I promise :)
From Rieke Liebrecht Luneburg, Germany Apr 1, 2008 Positive Rose ~ she's one of the beating hearts of the local community. Lovely, extremly social, full of ideas and I'm really impressed by her exuberant energy :-)It's great to have loads of future meetings with you!
From Martin Gevonden Amsterdam, Netherlands Mar 31, 2008 Positive Boogie with Rose! Surf with Rose! Drink with Rose! Hug Rose!
She made the right decision, fleeing our home town and settling in Amsterdam. She's one of the driving forces in the local CS community and we really wouldn't want to miss her.
From NAT-CHO Amsterdam, Netherlands Mar 30, 2008 Positive Rose is this special energy within the Amsterdam CS community that adds the kick to a lot of meetings.. she has the talent to surprise you with random giving, like suddenly you end up under her hands enjoying a holy strong massage... as if she can see through you and knows exactly what you need when you just want to 'arrive'... ! I think she also gets her kicks from a lot of deepness with her friends combined with the openness for the crazy stuff in life !

I'll come to a weekly meet up/dinner soon!
From Adam Braunesreither Amsterdam, Netherlands Mar 22, 2008 Positive In Rose's case references are really pointless, there is no possible way you can put into words what kind of experience you will have with Rose May. All I can say is that the experience you have, if you get to meet her, will not be bad one
From Maikel Lourenssen Oss, Netherlands Mar 21, 2008 Positive Rose is one of the active people in the Amsterdam meetup team.

From Elizabeth Tobey Damascus, United States Mar 11, 2008 Positive Hobbits love chocolate, and so do butterflies, so we got along very well, wandering the streets of 'dam together, shopping at the mrkets. Rose May is easy to get along with, interesting to talk to, and fun to laugh with. And she'll carry you around on the back of her bike, which is an essential experience.

2 years after my first visit, I went back to A'dam, and Rose saw my FB status that I'm coming back and offered her couch. after one night spent at her place, we hanged around for next couple of days, talked about our friend Stephen, I introduced her to some cool CS people this time, went on a boat ride, just had a wonderful time :)
I could talk with her about life and all the small things in life, over and over again.
