I ONLY HOST NON SMOKERS

Hi, I'm Remke, 50, a quiet, friendly, sensitive, creative woman who loves to be in nature and loves to travel and meet people from all over the world. I'm working as a visual artist and photography teacher.

Having long conversations and being in a busy environment can be very intense for me. I love to do activities with less words, like dancing Argentine tango, biking, drawing, doing qigong exercises, stand up paddling, hiking, swimming, sitting around a camp fire etc. I love the sea! (when it s not crowded.) I also like sitting on a quiet terrace, watching people, while enjoying a latte décaf :)
Don't have animals myself, but love them.

I live close to the old centre of Utrecht, 5 min walk. And 7 min walk from train station Utrecht Vaartsche Rijn. 1 min walk from busstop to train station Utrecht Centraal and to the forest. 1 hour with public transport to Amsterdam, The Hague, Rotterdam and Den Bosch.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To help, meet and inspire each other. More connection in the world.

Music, Movies, and Books

sing a song writers, lounge, neo tango, Piazzolla, classical music.

I don't follow the news because it often makes me feel sad and it feels like the world is a negative place. When I don't follow the news but experience the world and the people around me myself, the world feels much more positive! So many great and kind people in the world :)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

helicopter flight over an active volcano in Hawaii; climbing trough a waterfall in the French Alpes; standing on a black lava beach in Iceland surrounded by huge, dripping, blue iceblocks; swimming with my best friend who was very pregnant in a beautiful bay in Hawaii when dolphins appeared and swim with us! Seeing the Northern Lights in Swedish Lapland!

Teach, Learn, Share

I am happy to offer you a nice, calm and safe place to stay. I will help you if you would like information about nice things to do, public transport etc.

Would be great if we share some interests, like Argentine tango.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can teach you how to make better photos, make a nice portrait of you (and your loved ones), bake dutch pancakes. Maybe we can do an activity together: I love to do activities with less words, like dancing tango, biking, drawing, doing qigong excercises, stand up paddling, hiking, swimming, sitting around a camp fire etc. I could teach you how to dance Argentine tango :)

It's also perfectly fine with me if you are not there or don't have time to spend time together. I'm very greatful if you can offer me a quiet and safe place to stay.
