Couch Information


     << CouchSurf with Rose May!    

Couch picture

Couch Available: Yes
Preferred Gender: Any
Max Surfers Per Night: 2

Shared Sleeping Surface: Yes
Shared Room: Depends

I have one futon comfy for two persons and two airbeds. All couchsurfers will be sleeping in the living room. The ammount of privacy depends on how many csers will be hosted!

My close friend Adam( http://www.couchsurfing.com/profile.html?id=3QBJ65U ) and I are sharing sharing a flat near the Albert Cuyp Market. There's enough space but you may want to bring your own sleeping equipment. We're both busy creatures but like couchsurfing very much! We don't care whether you're open minded or not as long as you don't have any expectations and you're up for a good time!!

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!

The Remommendations


1. Its raining in Amsterdam quite a lot so you may want to bring an umbrella!

2. Make sure you always have a back-up plan. In June, Juny and August the hostels in Amsterdam are crowed. I sheldome cancel appointments but may something happen please make sure you have a plan B

Too bad I left early but we'll catch up with the partying later this summer! Amsterdam/you are definitely on my list when I get back from vacation!!

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! She was kind enough to take me in last minute, and even welcomed my friend who wasn't even surfing into her home and found the time to show us around a bit and hang out.

What an awesome experience surfing with Rose-may and Adam. She is really passionate about couchsurfing and shows a genuine interest in where people come from and who they are. I felt really welcome and didn't want to leave! We had great times hanging out with her friends, on Robb's boat and biking around, getting to know Amsterdam in a way that I never would have been able to otherwise. Rose you are a wonderful person, thanks heaps and hopefully we will meet again!

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!

Thanks again for taking care of me, and making sure that my stay in Amsterdam was an enjoyable one!

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!

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! :)

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!

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!

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.

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 !

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.

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.

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.

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 !

Her laugh is infectious, her chocolate addiction is all-encompassing, her generousity and love for her friends is inspirational and admirable. I really adore this girl, and only wish I had more time to spend with her. Take care miss, and will see you further along the road to awe.

I asked Rose to host me first :p writing emails about hobbit. Why about hobbit? Just read her profile haha! But we ended to meet up in a pub in Amsterdam! She is very welcoming and friendly. She "forced" me to smoke again :p (Ok... it was my only fault) But in a word, she is fun, smiling and charming. It is nice to know her!

There's lots of different sides to her and she'll surprise you with her openness and high interest in everything that's going on around her. Stay in touch, girl!

Rose is a Amsterdam city ambassador both in name and presentation. She is a very driven lady, and wants to make you feel at home in Amsterdam. Look at her page and you know what I mean! She is a CS-junkie by her own words. Rose has hosted so many people, that it makes you wonder if she has a life outside CS. She probably has a waitinglist, so apply long in advance. ;-) Anyway, Rose will make your stay in Amsterdam a memorable one!

Rose is nice! She`s the sister of my friend Floor and even though she didn`t know me and the rest of us (during a cup of coffee), we had fun and many things to talk about.
Hopefully we`ll go partying in Amsterdam in a few weeks.

Rose came out to meet us after cycling for 5 hours - most people would have bailed on a meeting but Rose came out and showed us an awesome time! Before taking us out she showed us around the city a little. Then we had beers at a local student pub and the three of us talked non-stop until the wee hours of the morning. Rose is amaaazing!

Rose is such a cool girl! clever, curious and a great listener, hey... she just rocks! I will be eternally in debt, it was such a cool weekend there at her couch, biking, drinking, eating, walking, dancing, laughing, she showed me arround, we did it all! She is more than invited to stay at my couch, and I hope that we will meet again soon.

Rose was very helpful while she acted as a sort of mobile secretary, entertaining Brian and Blake and maintaining contact between them and me before they would surf my couch. Also we had a blast when she joined us for the clubbing!
