Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

We do not have a big house, but we have a small room in our house with a nice bed for 1 person to stay with us. I will share my furture CS experiences with you.

Also I will do activities every now and than in giving away a grand tour Amsterdam, and the tour will take all day and looks like this:

The idea about the tour is to give you a good view of Amsterdam, visit the free outdoor venues, and remember the other venues as a memory or to visit later more in depth by yourself. So we view and pass by, we do NOT stop or go inside.

I am not against you drinking or smoking, but you will not be able to finish the tour. And I want to start and finish with the same group so during this tour we will NOT drink alcohol or use dope.

You will have a fun day for free, accept for your food, drinks and maybe a few souvenirs.

A) We will meet eachother at the Vondelpark http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vondelpark at Het Blauwe Theehuis http://www.blauwetheehuis.nl/ after that we sometimes visit the open theater http://www.openluchttheater.nl/ if there is something to do.
B) After that I will take you to the culture and art part of town the Museumplein (Rijksmuseum, Van Gogh Museum, Stedelijk Museum) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Museumplein
C) We will take a walk over the De Albert Cuypmarkt http://www.albertcuypmarkt.nl/ a large street with shops and market at reasonable prices.
D) Now we will pass by the Heineken museum http://www.heinekenexperience.com/ we will not start drinking here during the tour
E) To the Leidseplein where you can eat and drink http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leidseplein or get stoned at The Bulldog http://www.thebulldog.com/ but not during this tour.
F) We will next pass by the Anne Frank House, Prinsengracht 263 http://www.annefrank.org/
G) We wille pass by the Dam Square http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dam_(Amsterdam)
H) Another large shopping street called Kalverstraat http://www.kalverstraat.nl/
I) Rembrandtplein http://www.rembrandtplein.com/ we will pass with lots of restaurants and a very nice cinema Tuschinski.
