Hello hello, my name is Ingrid. I grew up in the US but am now living in the Netherlands for the next couple of years. My days are fueled by my curious soul...wanting to do more, know more, experience more. I enjoy being wrapped up in conversation or doing something active outdoors. I am laid back and find it easy to get along with nearly everyone I meet!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm looking to meet new people in new places, to get inspired by other people's stories and lifestyles, and really because sharing is one of the most fulfilling things I've experienced on this planet
