Hi! I'm Jeske (Jess is fine) - I live in Amsterdam and always up for a good laugh. I'm curious for life and passionate about music festivals, dancing, social causes, all types of cats, activities in nature and learning about different cultures and ceremonies. I consider South America as my second home.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm a big fan of the exchanging / sharing culture. Giving and receiving without expectations. Besides, meeting (local) people is the best way to get to know more about the culture and places that I'm discovering.

Music, Movies, and Books

Music: basically every form of Latin Music :) besides, concerts of Monolink, Nicola Cruz and Nelly Furtado are still on the bucket list. Best serie: Frontera Verde.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Organizing a volunteerday on 10 locations at the same time, with around 600 volunteers, where we build a small festival for disabled youngsters (in The Netherlands).

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach Latin Dances, tell you about the history of Dance music and festivals, and give a puppy training.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Life experiences and good stories!
