About

Hello!

My boyfriend and I are from Amsterdam, the Netherlands, and we're planning to travel the world together for a year or longer, starting in India, then Australia, and the rest is still a mystery. We're excited to explore new places, meet people from different backgrounds, and experience life beyond our usual routines. We're hoping to find places where we can stay a little longer, connect with locals, and get a feel for what everyday life is like in different parts of the world.

My boyfriend, Mees, is a baker who works at a sourdough bakery, so naturally, he can make great bread! He's down-to-earth, practical, and brings a calm perspective to life; he enjoys being active, does CrossFit, and we do bouldering together. I recently graduated in art therapy and have also studied tourism. We have been together for over 9 years.

Right now, I'm in a phase of figuring out what direction I want to take in life. I'm interested in spirituality, meditation, psychology, creativity, travelling, and the many different ways people see the world. We're both calm people, but different in many ways, which makes us a nice balance. I'm more drawn to the philosophical and spiritual side of life, while he's more grounded and pragmatic. We both enjoy meaningful conversations, a good laugh, trying new things, and meeting genuine people.

We'd love to exchange stories, learn from the people we meet, and share a little of ourselves along the way. We believe the best travel experiences often come from the people you meet rather than the places you visit.

We're respectful, curious, easygoing, and happy to help out or share a meal. In our free time, we enjoy exploring new places, going for walks, bouldering, trying new fitness activities, wellness like saunas, watching movies, and cooking or baking together. I also enjoy yoga, art, and the simple things like a relaxed evening or a walk in nature.

Experience with pets & homes

We're responsible, respectful, and tidy, and we understand the importance of looking after someone's home as if it were our own. We're often asked to sit houses of our friends, as we are both still looking for our own place, and try our best to be together as often as we can.

We're happy to follow routines, give pets plenty of attention, and keep owners updated while they're away. We're keen to learn about each pet's individual needs and make sure they feel safe and comfortable.
