Hey future roomie or new friend! 👋
I’m Jen!
the classic canal shot, a dip in a Hawaiian waterfall, and touring the iconic Muiderslot
I’m a 29-year-old writer, wanderer, and nature enthusiast from just outside Detroit, Michigan. I spent the past year living abroad, after leaving my home in Hawaii — a place that still holds a big piece of my heart. Most recently, I taught English in Thailand and traveled through Southeast Asia. Now, I want to call the Netherlands home to reconnect with my roots, learn Dutch, and lean into my entrepreneurial venture.
Quick specs
- Budget: €700–€950/month
- Areas: near/ outside the Amsterdam ring in the West, North, or East, near public transit, grassy or open water spaces
- Move-in: Late September / early October
- Needs: Registration + furnished room + windows
- Bonus: Practicing Dutch daily & would love a housemate who’s patient with my mispronunciations
- Bonus^2: I love words of affirmation/quotes/letters, so I write lil notes for people I see on a day-to-day basis, including roommates
I’m looking for a furnished room (with desk space!) in a peaceful, shared home with good vibes. I work from home most days, but love a mix of solo time and shared moments — like tea chats, park walks, cycling adventures, or spontaneous dinner nights (breakfast-for-dinner is my specialty 🍳).
I value clear communication, clean shared spaces, and mutual respect. I’d love to live with Dutch or international roommates and am eager to keep improving my Dutch (language swaps welcome!). I’ll be a thoughtful, tidy housemate who contributes to a home that feels cared for and welcoming to everyone who lives in it.
Outside of work, I’m all about movement and creativity—swimming, biking, running, journaling, reading, exchanging poems, snapping film photos, and the occasional game of cards. I’m Thai massage certified and love cozy self-care nights with candles, stretches, and early bedtimes. Always up for learning something new or diving deep into a good convo.
Let’s chat if you think we’d vibe. Beep me on WA at +13136001536
Looking forward to making a gezellig home, not just a house 🏡✨
