Hi! My name is Marita. I love meeting new people and sharing time and experiences. "Compartir es vivir"

If I visit there will be lots of freshly cooked food! I love to cook and eat healthy, do yoga and paint whenever it’s possible.

I come from Utrecht, a small and cozy city in the middle of the Netherlands, but at the moment live in Amsterdam with my partner. We have a spare bed in the livingroom, so you could send me a message and if the date suits I would love to host and meet new people that I can show the more alternative sides of city :) I like to dance (salsa, techno, punk bands) and visit music performances, as well as walking in the forest, just reading a book outiside at a sunny place or at home.

I did an exchange semester in Medellín, Colombia, what was a great experience! Besides the design engineering that I studied, I learned Spanish here which I like to practice!

Together with a friend we cycled through Portugal last august. In the middle of august, we helped building a festival in Crato (Waking Life), so before and afterwards we had a long time to cycle and enjoy the pretty country. I love making big cycling trips, like a hugecircle around Iceland that I did one time :D

Currently I work as a stage designer and builder, which is amazing because I love to draw and build with wood and metal.

Let’s meet! Un abrazo

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Lately, we cycled to Berlin where we had so good couch experiences and also in Colombia and Ecuador it turned out perfect to use this platform to get in contact with extremely nice people while travelling 2,5 months after my exchange semester.

So great that you are all open to have people sleep in your house. I always like to meet new people, and love to do that in the way of couchsurfing. It makes travelling so easy and likable for both sides!

While cycling we always take the tent, but in the city it is quite impossible to camp. Couchsurfing would be the ideal solution, while being able to meet locals, have a great time together, get insights of the city, and not at least being cheep. Of course my couch in Utrecht is totally usable :)
