We both grew up in Amsterdam and emigrated to New Zealand where we raised our 3 children in a beautiful house by the beach.
In June 2018 we set out to travel overland across Europe and Asia back to NZ.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Throughout our lives we have been hosting and staying with international friends outside of the couchsurfing platform. After hearing many good things about couchsurfing from other travelers, including our son, we now decided to give couchsurfing a go as a way of enhancing our travels.
