ABOUT ME

I am Anouk, 43 years old and mother of a 11-years old son. I am sensitive and funny. And so is my son. He is also very sociable; he loves people and animals.

His biggest wish was going to Italy by plane. To celebrate that he will attend highschool this year, I am faced my fear of flying and made his wish come true. Our trip was a big succes. Something tells me we will be traveling more often.
