Hey there,

My name is Bob Borsboom, 26 years old and living in Amsterdam. In Amsterdam, I live together with refugees to help them make their first steps in The Netherlands. I help them with language but also learning social skills. But the most important "feeling" they learn from me is that they are equal as everyone else!

---------------------------------
Currently on a biking trip Amsterdam to Marocco since 16-09-2021

I am a super social person living in Amsterdam for 5 years now. Know a lot about the city and the different cultures/neighbourhoods here. Love to cycle in the city and know al the famous and hidden places. Living in a project to help other students and refugees making the best of their lives. We live in a old office building and share everything we have with each other :). This is probably the most social and cultural place in Amsterdam.

We also have a huge garden which I like to grow plants (lettuce, tomato and different kind of herbs). Love to tell you more about it. Also we have around 30-40 houseplants inside in our kitchen so welcome to "our jungle"

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Love to meet new people and tell and show them how nice Amsterdam is besides all the famous places. There is so much more in this historical city.
