CURRENT MISSION

My partner Tristan Knelange and I are travelling to Georgia, Armenia and Iran (the next 5 weeks)

ABOUT ME

I am an open person with a loud laughter.

Tristan is charming, open-minded and gets along with almost everyone

PHILOSOPHY

Annelien: as for myself, I try be curious, open-minded, and contented with all that I have. Also, I try to make life fun

Tristan: a village without music is like a farm without a window

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

we've both hosted a bunch of people in Amsterdam before but none that we've met through couch surfing (although some turned out to be experienced couch surfers). Once back in Amsterdam we're planning on hosting people - we live in the centre of Amsterdam and enjoy sharing the beauty of our city and meet people from different places

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

none yet! We have hosted a good many foreign friends that came to visit us though and have stayed with some of them at their places.
