I am a 40 year old who tries to enjoy life. I am a bit shy at the beginning. I'm an ambulant wheelchair user. Who just started travelling by bike. I need a lot of sleep, so it's a bit challenging, but I'm creative. I am positive and kind.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I used to travel a lot, but then I took an arrow to the knee. I joined some couchsurfing events, and I have made good memories. I am interested in other cultures, habits, and history.

Interests

I like to travel but my body likes to sleep. I travel with my bike, wheelchair and/or by car.

I live with my husband and 2 dogs.
The golden retriever Spock is an old therapeutic dog. He volunteers at a nursing home.

I try to make pottery on the potter's wheel.

I have chronic leukemia and a pokemon go account. The latter is my own choice.

Help people, not greedy companies.

• dogs
• human rights
• pottery
• nursing
• volunteering
• gaming
• feminism
• pokemon go

Music, Movies, and Books

I like detectives. Everything from Robin Cook. And all the books from John Grisham.
I like (punk) rock music. It doesn't have to be from a well-known artist but i like to sing along, although I have a terrible voice. Blink 182, the Offspring, Bad religion, Sum 41.
I like the movie Up, Ice age, Eat pray love and some series like Grace and Frankie. And i forgot the names of all the other movies/ bands I like. I am not good at remembering things.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I am alive and happy.
And got my tuk tuk licence.

Teach, Learn, Share

As you can tell from my writing, I would like to improve my English.
I like to know more about pottery. I am interested in a lot of different topics.

I can talk with an optimistic view about life without denying the bad shit that's happening on earth.
I used to work in health care and still like to talk about it. Things I know a little bit about: wheel thrown pottery, squatting in the Netherlands, communicating with people who are nonverbal, pokemon go,
