One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

In 2019 I have been to Chile and Argentina, my first trip outside of Europe, it was an experience to never forge, to be able to get to know a part of the world that is so far away was wonderful!

Teach, Learn, Share

I have a bit of experience with teaching dutch, history (dutch perspective) and biology because of a language project i participated in and the teaching i did as a side job to tutor high school students.

I love learning new things about other cultures, especially food haha! The variation of tasty food around the world shows the beautiful innovative side of humans, besides that I strongly believes that food unites people. I love to cook but won't say I am a master chef, nevertheless I like to prepare and share dishes from the traditional dutch cuisine which is underrated in my humble opinion haha.

What I Can Share with Hosts

My enthusiasm and knowledge about a lot of different aspects from my village Dalfsen and hometown Zwolle and besides that cultural and historical information about the Netherlands.
