Born in Suriname, lived in California, home is Amsterdam. I love biking past the old canal houses and being surrounded by water and bridges. Used to be a tour guide of this beautiful city and love to share my love for it with others. I'm a teacher of psychology at the VU University Amsterdam.

Above all I'm a learner. There is nothing more meaningful to me than learning and growing. I have too many interests and try to pursue them all. Always in for meaningful conversations.

Let's bike! Let's walk! Let's go to museums, concerts, jazz cafés and storytelling nights! Let's share stories ourselves and become richer human beings in the process. Let's stay up all night and dance!

''The ongoing wow is happening right now''- Timothy Speed Levitch
