Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
Enjoy the second part of my life as much as I can. See, hear, smell and feel all the things I'll meet on my way in a very intense way.
ABOUT ME
I copy /paste this from my reference because I find it really difficult to tell something about myself. So this is an example how other people see me:
I know Monique because we sang in the same Choir in The Hague. She always is warm, positive, cheerful and stimulating for everyone around her.
I know her as a great and energy giving factor in our singing group and also as a interesting and one-to-one conversation partner. She is a not only a great cook, but most of all good listener, wise, honest, curious and adventurous. For me she was inspiring to talk to.
PHILOSOPHY
There is no problem until you make one.
Pointing to someone or something else is to deny yourself.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
To sleep at the literal edge of the Grand Canyon without a tent/camper or camping stuff. Just me and my friend in the greatness of this beautiful piece of nature. Seeing beautiful colours and only hearing the sounds of animals.
Teach, Learn, Share
I'm teaching piano (only beginners), English (basics), I'm learning everything there is to learn and understanding that this is endless.
