ABOUT ME

I am adventurous, easy-going, open-minded. The things that make me happy: my volunteer job (giving Dutch language lessons to immigrants), reggae music, concerts in the middle of the week, spontaneous city trips in Europe, the cinema, books, art, badminton, writing, Champions League football, buying cd's, discovering new bars with my friends, the sea.
