About Me

As I'm pregnant and really really busy working I'm not able to host at the moment. I hope I'll be able to host again soon!

CURRENT MISSION

Observe, don't judge

ABOUT ME

- Romantic, cheerful, open mind, interested in all kinds of people, easy.
I like to cook, drink wine, play cards, hike, read.
- I have a job as a journalist for a children's newspaper. My dream job!
- I dream a lot, literally. I always wake up with weird dreams, then write them down so I can dream on when awake.
- I love all crafty things: making postcards, photo books, teaching myself to knit of paint or grow my own tomatoes.

PHILOSOPHY

All is about people caring for each other.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Travelling for two months in Canada with no schedule at all, free to do everything that came on my way.

GR20 hike, Corsica. Back to basic: 16 days of water, sheep cheese and old bread, walking long hours, no working telephone - amazing.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach people Dutch. Or I could teach 'em some guitarchords.
