At the moment I live in the Netherlands again, and work as a social worker in the specific youth care (ages 6-12 years, 14-18 years, and 16-26 years). I also work as a social worker, come by at peoples houses, the age varis from 18 till 52.
Friends would describe me as friendly, spontaneous, talkative and (from time to time) creative.

I have traveled all over the United States and parts of Northwestern Europe. Traveling, reading, writing, and having interesting conversations about any and all subjects are important to me.

Interests

Going out for a drink with friends and/or meeting new people is what we do often! In the weekends I am off, so I like to go shopping, out for dinner, go to a festival, do fun activities! Or on a lazy weekend I like to watch a movie and cuddle up with my blanket, my boyfriend & chocolates.
A big passion of me is driving my sport Motorcycle!
