After 35 years of living in Greece, my husband and I moved to the north east of the Netherlands permanently. Our house is in a small village, called Bierum, surrounded by farming acres and cows.

I was born and raised in the Netherlands and raised my family in Greece. I worked with families of autistic children. We escaped from the noise and pollution of the town ten years ago and now we want to emerge even more in nature. Our children are living in several countries.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I like meeting interesting people and think this is a very good way to bring the world together.
Since I need to travel to see my children, and it is not always possible to stay overnight at their place, I am glad this opportunity exists to make my stay comfortable and agreeable.
