Hi, I'm Dominik. In June I was admitted to study Computer Science at Saxion University and started organizing my new life as a first year student in Enschede looking for accommodation. I come from a multicultural family - my mother is of Slovak origin and my father is of Colombian origin, so I have both nationalities and I have applied in Saxion University with my Slovak nationality, although I currently reside with my family in the capital of Colombia, Bogota. I am 17 years old and I have just finished my secondary school in Bogota, but very soon I will turn 18 and I consider myself mature enough to move away from my family and embark on a new path at Saxion University. In my multicultural family I have learned since I was little to travel a lot and enjoy adventures of all kinds. From a very young age I have started racing swimming training and today I am the performance swimmer affiliated with the Swimming Federation of Colombia and also of Slovakia. I hope to continue with this hobby also in Holland, since I like sports in general. Outside of sports, perhaps like most young people of my age, I like music and video games. I come from very far away (Colombia) and I have faith that living this way I will be able to adapt much easier to my new life and make lasting friendships with mutual support. Being an athlete since I was little, I am used to sharing with my peers and providing support when required, I am a friendly and social person. Coming from a multicultural family I think I was raised to be respectful and open-minded. Furthermore, Colombian culture is a very friendly, happy and pleasant culture like most South American cultures.

Hello! I'm Mélissa, an engineering student looking for a place to stay from July/August onwards during my master in Mechanical Engineering at TU Delft. I am a friendly, relaxed and clean person coming from Belgium :) I enjoy chatting over dinner/coffee and making meaningful connections but also value other's boundaries and personal space. I like to stay active and do almost all kind of sports (badminton and gym are currently my favorite). Coming from Chinese origins, sharing food is one of my main love languages.

Ik ben een 22 jarige masterstudent aan de Universiteit Leiden en woon momenteel in Rotterdam. Ik ben een rustige, nette en betrouwbare huurder die veel waarde hecht aan een schoon en verzorgd thuis. Daarnaast ben ik verantwoordelijk, sociaal en zorgzaam, en ga ik altijd zorgvuldig om met de woning.

I’m a Portuguese student, turning 24 in August. I’ve been living in Seville for the last 4 years and I’m currently finishing my Master’s at the Real Conservatorio Superior de Música de Madrid. In September, I’ll be starting a new Master’s degree at the Koninklijk Conservatorium. I have 6 years of experience sharing housing, so I’m very used to living with other people. I’m tidy, respectful, and I really value a clean and peaceful home environment :) I’m a social person who enjoys having a chat or sharing a meal, but I also highly respect personal space and quiet hours. I’m looking for a room where registration is possible. I have no issues regarding rent or deposit, and I also plan to work part-time. I’m not in the Netherlands yet, but I’m available for video calls anytime!

Hi, my name is Elin. I'm a 22 years old working female. My budget is € 1000 p/mnd and I would like to move immediately

English version above – Nederlandse versie hieronder. Hi, my name is Paul and I'm moving to the Netherlands to pursue my Master's in Design for Interaction at TU Delft – a dream I've been working towards for a long time. I'm originally from Germany, studied and worked in Design in Weimar, and I'm someone who genuinely loves shared living. I've lived in shared apartments for 8 years, so I know what makes it work: mutual respect, clear boundaries, being there for each other, and keeping shared spaces clean and comfortable. Living together well is something I take seriously – and enjoy. Outside of studies I love cycling, hiking, sitting in cafés, and exploring new places. I'm looking forward to building a real home, not just a temporary stay. What I bring along: a great vinyl/CD collection, useful household appliances, and furniture for shared spaces if needed. Financially I'm well set up: I have savings and will be working part-time alongside my studies, so rent is covered reliably and on time. I'd love to meet you and hopefully become part of your home. Paul Hoi, mijn naam is Paul en ik kom binnenkort naar Nederland om mijn Master Design for Interaction te studeren aan de TU Delft – al lange tijd mijn grote droom. Ik kom uit Duitsland, heb Design gestudeerd en gewerkt in Weimar, en ik ben iemand die echt houdt van samenwonen. Ik woon al 8 jaar in WG's, dus ik weet wat belangrijk is: respect voor elkaar, duidelijke grenzen, er zijn voor elkaar en de gedeelde ruimtes netjes houden. Goed samenwonen is iets wat ik serieus neem – en ook gewoon leuk vind. Buiten mijn studie hou ik van fietsen, wandelen, in cafés zitten en nieuwe plekken ontdekken. Ik leer ook Nederlands, dus ik hoop snel een beetje mee te kunnen praten! Wat ik meeneem: een mooie cd-collectie, handige huishoudelijke apparaten en eventueel meubels voor de gemeenschappelijke ruimtes. Financieel sta ik er goed voor: ik heb spaargeld en ga naast mijn studie parttime werken, dus de huur wordt altijd op tijd betaald. Ik zou jullie graag leren kennen – en wie weet worden we binnenkort huisgenoten. Paul

Geachte verhuurder, Mijn naam is Caroline, ik ben 21 jaar oud en woon in Enschede. Ik ben een enthousiaste, sociale, respectvolle, zelfstandig en verantwoordelijke vrouw. In mijn woning hecht ik veel waarde aan een schone en verzorgde omgeving. Daarnaast is contact met familie, vrienden en mijn directe omgeving voor mij erg belangrijk. Momenteel werk ik al ruim een jaar als manager bij McDonald’s in Haaksbergen. In deze functie heb ik goed geleerd om verantwoordelijkheden te nemen en gestructureerd te werken. Per 1 september start ik in Zwolle met de opleiding Accountancy op Windesheim, waarin ik mij verder wil ontwikkelen en mijn toekomst wil vormgeven. Dit is dan ook de reden van het verhuizen naar Zwolle. Naast dat, heb ik al een klein netwerk met vrienden in Zwolle wat de verhuizing dan ook makkelijk(er) maakt. In mijn vrije tijd ga ik graag shoppen, zoek ik vrienden of familie graag op, sport ik regelmatig en ben ik een auto fanaat. Ik ben op zoek naar een fijne woonplek waar wederzijds respect en een prettige sfeer centraal staan. Met vriendelijke groet, Caroline

My name is Oreste, and I am a Mechanical Engineer from Italy. I will be starting a full-time position in The Hague on 1st of April, and I am currently looking for a room. I am already in The Hague and available for viewings at short notice. I am a responsible, clean, and organised person who values a peaceful and well-maintained home environment. I understand the importance of respecting both the property and and people living in it, and I like to keep my space peaceful. On a personal level, I am friendly, easygoing, and respectful of others’ privacy and routines. In my free time, I enjoy cooking, watching sports, working out and meeting new people. I speak Italian, English, and Spanish, and I am now learning Dutch. I would be happy to provide any further information if needed.

I’m a Brazilian-Italian Master’s student in Global Political Economy at Leiden University, and I’d say I’m the kind of person who quietly improves the atmosphere of a home. I keep things clean and organized without making it a big deal, I respect people’s space, and I’m naturally easy to live with. At the same time, I bring a warm and positive energy, the Brazilian side definitely shows up in that. I love cooking (especially Italian food), staying active with gym and running, and creating a calm but friendly environment where people feel comfortable. I’m social in a balanced way, I enjoy a chat or shared dinner, but I also really value a peaceful home. I’m looking for a place that feels like home, not just a room, somewhere with good energy, mutual respect, and a nice daily vibe.

Beste verhuurder, Wij zijn Anouk (26) en Thijs (24) en zijn studenten, maar werken daarnaast ook in de horeca. Anouk studeert Psychologie en werkt als barvrouw in speciaalbierkroeg Café van Ouds. Thijs studeert Bestuurskunde en werkt als barman bij Café TweeKeerBellen. We hebben elkaar leren kennen achter de bar bij Café van Ouds, waar Thijs eerst ook werkte. We vinden het allebei leuk om te reizen en nieuwe plekjes en dingen te ontdekken. Maar kunnen er allebei ook van genieten om lekker samen op de bank met een serie te liggen. Wij wonen allebei al een langere tijd in het mooie Nijmegen en willen nu de stap maken om samen te wonen. We hebben een gezamenlijk arbeidsinkomen rond de €1500 per maand, met een totaal inkomen rond de €3500 per maand. Ook hebben we garantstellers, mocht dit mogelijk/nodig zijn.

I’m a friendly, kind and respectful person. I’m very clean and tidy, and I care about keeping a pleasant atmosphere at home.

Hi there, I’m Paula, 19 years old, and currently looking for housing in The Hague or nearby :) I’m going to start my bachelor’s degree there soon and I’m really excited. I would describe myself as an open-minded, friendly and reliable person. I enjoy meeting new people, spending time with friends, doing sports and having a good balance between studying and free time. I already have experience living together with other people, so I’m used to sharing spaces like the kitchen and bathroom and keeping everything clean and respectful. I’m a considerate roommate and I value a comfortable and positive living atmosphere. Financially, I’m supported through a guarantor who covers my rent, and I also receive financial support for my studies from the German government. In addition, I’m planning to work part-time in The Hague during my studies. In my free time I like travelling, listening to music, staying active and exploring new places
