ABOUT ME

I am a quiet ambitious person,not in my daily job, but more in exploring hobby's and interests. My ambitions drive me to a strong perseverance in undertaking activities. I have a passion for musics, reading, and learning (to know) other cultures and grounds. I love to meet and talk with others about their interests.I like to learn and inform others about my home town and country. In summertimes I navigate my boat on Amsterdam canals and other open waters. Favourite activities: backpacking in the mountains, city visits, sports (running, biking)
