I understand that everyone can have bad days, and sometimes people feel angry or frustrated. While I can’t prevent those moments, I choose to respond calmly and with understanding. Difficult situations are part of life, especially when people from different cultures live together. My life has taken me through two countries, and now I’m living in a third. This experience has taught me that prejudices are temporary, but respect and communication make a real difference. I believe in talking openly, finding balanced solutions, and creating agreements that benefit everyone involved. For me, a place to live is more than just a room—it’s a shared space where people find common grounds

Hi! My name is Santiago, and I’ll be moving to the Netherlands to start my MSc degree in Biology and Business at Leiden University. I’m from South Africa, but I grew up in the UAE, which has made me very respectful and comfortable living in varied, international, and multicultural environments I’m a Biomedical Science graduate from the University of Strathclyde in Scotland, and I plan to work alongside my future studies for as many hours as my schedule will allow. Although I hope to pay a large part of any rent on my own, I will be supported in my studies, so paying rent promptly will never be an issue. I hope to find a home where I can maintain a balanced routine focusing on studying, work, and daily life, all the while being able to feel comfortable and focused. I’m organised, clean, and respectful, and I value clear communication and mutual respect in shared living spaces. Respect means that I don’t smoke, am mindful of noise, and always take care of the place I live. I’m used to living independently as well as sharing accommodation and understand the importance of keeping common areas tidy and being considerate of others’ schedules and privacy. Outside of studying and work, I enjoy staying active, cooking, exploring new places, and socialising with housemates, while also appreciating personal time, as I know I need the same. I’m looking for a home with a calm, friendly atmosphere and people who value responsibility and open communication. I treat a home as more than just a place to sleep and always look after it as if it were my own. If you’re looking for a dependable, mature, and easy-going tenant or housemate, I’d be very happy to connect.

Hi! I'm a 22-year-old Latvian studying in Belgium, and I've decided to do my internship in The Netherlands (Amsterdam), so I'm looking for a place/room to rent from February 2026 till May 2026. I'm not too picky and can live near Amsterdam. A little about me: I'm quite a creative odd-ball (that's how I would describe myself). I'm very communicative and like to talk, play games and hang out. I don't smoke and I'm very responsible about shared spaces, so I keep everything clean and consider others. If you have any questions or want to learn more about me, please don't hesitate to reach out!

Hi, I'm Nicole! I'm a 22-year-old university graduate who just started a marketing traineeship in September, and I'm looking for a new place in Amsterdam to settle into this new era of my life. I moved to the Netherlands in 2021 for university and lived in Maastricht before coming to Amsterdam. I have four years of experience living in all different sorts of house-sharing situations, so I know how to share a space and prioritise good communication :) I speak English, Spanish, and a bit of Dutch (A1).

Thanks for checking out my profile among the dozens you’ve probably received 🙂 Let me introduce myself briefly. My name is Unai, I'm 23 and I’m from the Basque Country in Spain. I’m moving to Amsterdam for six months to work at a foundation focused on raising awareness about the responsible use of AI, where I’ll be working in PR/Communications. I’ve shared apartments for the past four years and I always pay rent on time. I’m easy-going, clean and respectful when it comes to shared spaces. I also enjoy cooking, so I’m happy to be in charge of at least one meal per week :) If you prefer a quiet and independent living situation, I won’t bother you and I’ll fully respect your space. But if you enjoy spending time together, I’m open, social and love making plans, chatting and sharing meals. If you’d like to know anything else about me, feel free to ask. I’m looking forward to hearing from you. Best regards, Unai

Hoi, ik ben Iris en ik ben 18 jaar. Ik studeer biomedische technologie en zit nu in het eerste jaar van mijn studie. Ik zit op atletiek en ik vind het leuk om te lezen en te bakken. Ik heb een tijdelijke kamer tot eind januari en ben daarom nu opzoek naar iets vasts.

Mats (29), professioneel tennisser actief op de ATP Tour, en Fee (27), consultant (intercedent) bij Medi Interem. Wij wonen op dit moment ondertussen al 5 jaar samen in Roermond als uitstekende huurders, maar hebben de gezamelijke droom om naar Utrecht te verhuizen. De grotere stad, dichterbij familie en vrienden en meer diversiteit zijn daar de grootste redenen voor. Fee heeft jarenlang in Den Haag gewoond en mist de grote stad en Mats reist heel de wereld rond voor tennis en voelt zich ook het fijnst in Utrecht. Samen gaan we graag uiteten, op vakantie en naar het terras. Thuis houden we van een gezellige sfeer; rustig een boek lezen tijdens het draaien van een plaat op onze platenspeler. We zijn erg nette, betrouwbare en rustige huurders.

Hi, my name is Nick. I'm a 25 years old working male. My budget is € 400 p/mnd and I would like to move immediately

*English below* Hoi! Ik ben Melissa (28), oorspronkelijk uit Duitsland, en ik start in maart als fulltime onderzoeksassistent aan de Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam, waar ik ga werken aan biodiversiteitsthema’s. Mijn contract loopt twee jaar en ik ben op zoek naar een kamer voor langere tijd. Eerder verhuizen (bijvoorbeeld in februari) is voor mij ook mogelijk. Ik heb net mijn studie in Duitsland afgerond en kijk er erg naar uit om mijn eerste “echte” baan in Amsterdam te beginnen. Kleine disclaimer: ik spreek nog geen Nederlands (wel Duits, Engels en Spaans), maar ik heb al eens les gehad en verwacht het redelijk snel op te pakken. Het afgelopen jaar heb ik onderzoek gedaan naar wilde bijen in stedelijke omgevingen.. Ik ben open en vriendelijk, netjes en gewend om samen te wonen. Ik vind het leuk om af en toe samen te eten of te praten, maar kan ook goed mijn eigen ding doen. In mijn vrije tijd sport ik veel, ben ik graag buiten en kook ik regelmatig (meestal vegetarisch/vegan). Omdat mijn vriend in Londen woont, ben ik soms een weekend weg. Verder ben ik een stabiele en betrouwbare huurder die netjes met het huis omgaat. Ik kijk ernaar uit om kennis te maken! Groetjes, Melissa English: Hi! I’m Melissa (28), originally from Germany, and I’ll be starting a full-time position as a research assistant at Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam this March, working on biodiversity-related topics. My contract is for two years, and I’m ideally looking for a place long-term. I’d also be happy to move in earlier, for example in February. I’ve just finished my studies in Germany and I’m really excited to begin my first “real” job in Amsterdam. A small heads-up: I don’t speak Dutch yet (only German, English and Spanish), but I’ve taken some classes before and I’m confident I’ll pick up the basics fairly quickly. Over the past year, I worked on research about wild bees in urban environments, with sustainability being close to my heart. I’m easygoing, love to cook (mostly veggie) and generally uncomplicated to live with. I’ve lived in shared flats for many years and genuinely enjoy it. Whether the flat is more social or more on the quiet side, I’m happy with both. In my free time I like running, being outdoors, and I’ll probably join a gym once I’ve settled in. Shared meals are definitely an option as well. My boyfriend lives in London, so I’ll be visiting him occasionally. I’d love to get to know you and your place — feel free to reach out! Cheers, Melissa

My name is Sofia, I am a Polish student and a second-year Master’s student at the University of Lille. I will be coming to the Netherlands for a six-month internship in Rotterdam at HousingAnywhere, which is why I am currently looking for a room. There is also a possibility that my stay could be extended, depending on how the internship develops. I am responsible with my finances and always pay rent on time. My budget is up to $650 per month. I consider myself a calm, tidy, and respectful person. I value a clean and peaceful living environment and take good care of the place where I live. In my free time, I enjoy reading, walking, and discovering new cities and cultures. I am not a party person and I respect house rules and my housemates privacy. I have previous experience living in rented accommodation and have always maintained good relationships with landlords. I would describe myself as a reliable and considerate tenant who treats the room as if it were my own.

Hi, my name is Steffen. I'm a 48 years old working male. My budget is € 800 p/mnd and I would like to move immediately

Hey everyone! :) My name is Skyla , I am 21 years old and I am from Germany. I recently moved to Arnhem to study International Social Work at HAN University. Unfortunately, my student housing contract will end soon, so I need a new place to live. I am a very easy-going person and I love to socialise, but I also enjoy having time for myself. I enjoy music a lot and occasionally like to go to concerts or jam sessions. Additionally I love cooking, doing yoga and sports, and spending time in nature. Before moving here I spent a lot of time travelling and lived in different places around the world. I value a considerate living environment and therefore always try to keep everything clean and tidy as well. (My roommates would confirm! :)
