I'm a researcher / botanist working in the horticulture 🌿, and a freelance photographer as a hobby (look up @reezyard on instagram).

Having my own appartment in the city centre of Leiden since the beginning of 2018 and it feels great! It is only 20 minutes walk from the station and you're directly in the city centre from my house. You are one block away from the big Hooglandse kerk (church).

I have a big couch in my home jungle for a max of 2 people that wish to stay here in this wonderful city. Or maybe 3 if you don't mind an airbed.

Futhermore I'm a very open minded person and I would love to meet new people and have some fun with! I can even do a tour if I have the time for it. I don't mind being social and have some drinks (prefer the weekends for that) 🍻 🍷 🥃.

Ask me anything!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Teach, Learn, Share

What I did for years was rowing and giving rowing instructions and right now helping people with photography and biology questions!

What I Can Share with Hosts
