NOTE: if you are only interested in staying with us because it is close to Amsterdam, sorry we will not be able to host you. Leiden is too beautiful a city to ignore !! Requests for Amsterdam will not be replied, as I love doing a lot of other things with my life :-)

I thoroughly enjoy being a host together with my children, and being a guest has also been a good experience so far. Where the wind will take us!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

It has been great hosting different people from all over the world. So much beauty in everyone we have met. And fun, stories, music and life.

Music, Movies, and Books

I read quite a lot, from psychological thrillers to Thich Nhat Hanh, and in between. A typical multiple book reader I confess

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Just a few experiences: Sleeping on the beach on the west coast of Scotland, strolling around Mount Olga in the Australian desert, staying up all night on Midsummer in Uppsala, kayaking in a cave on the north island of New Zealand, watching dolphins in California, I love all these memories and look forward to creating many many more. And I also enjoy working in my garden en cycling around in Leiden.

Teach, Learn, Share

We have recently started a film gathering which we have named Watch.Learn.Talk.Grow.Be.
I like to share the "being" in this world.
And sometimes wonder if the question is not so much what to learn but what to unlearn.... so what do we teach eachother?
