ABOUT ME
We have the two most wonderful sons of the world (sorry for all those other parents;D). To earn my mony I am a mediator for people who want to get divorced and I help people with legal problems. Because I just graduated in psychology (bachelor). I like my home town Utrecht a lot. I am very lucky to have a garden only it is 30 km away from my home so if I can I will stay there. In the summer I like to sail in my own (smal)boat or go cycling. In the winter I like speed skating very much.
PHILOSOPHY
Be nice to people. Meeting other people is nice.

Music, Movies, and Books
My favorite film is Dutch but very unknown: Ochtendzwemmers. The music I like is Dutch as wel: Blof. The book I am reading is The Man Who Mistook His Wife For A Hat, Oliver Sacks (in a Dutch translation) and I just finished The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time, Mark Haddon. This one is very nice. It is about a boy with autism, he is the writer of the book and tells a story about events in his live.
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
I made a trip to Sweden and Norway by bicycle. I cycled 3000 km in 30 days. We were all self supporting by taking our own tent and camping stuff on our bikes. It was very cool to go so far away without using a car or a train or a plain. We only used the ferry to go from Kiel to Göteborg and to go from Kristiansand to IJmuiden. I will never go to Bergen again. It is raining there 362 days a year.
Teach, Learn, Share
I would like to be a better sailer so if anyone can teach me, that would be wonderfull! I have my own boat that I can share and that we can use for trips. If anyone likes to learn more about skating, I can teach that.
