One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
One amazing thing I have done?
Well, I visited Egypt between the 2 revolutions and was basically alone in Abu Simbel. I think that was quite cool.
I've visited a lot of places in Europe,
went 5 times to Eastern Canada,
had this AMAZING Erasmus experience a couple of years back.
Oh, and I've quit my job to start travelling the world.
And I'm planning not ever to have a 9 to 5 job ever ever again. Never.
Teach, Learn, Share
What do I have to offer?
Hm.
I love cooking. Really. But what I even love more is sharing my culinary talents with other people while sharing a nice meal with a good glass of wine (jup, love wine). So if you offer me a couch, I will offer to cook. Really.
What else? Well, I can talk to you fluently in 3 languages, depending on which one you prefer (english, dutch, french)
I have some econometrics skills. Never mind, nobody wants them ;)
Well, I guess I have a bunch of travel stories to share with anyone who would like to hear them.
What I want to learn?
Well.. The list is waaaaay too long!
I have this kind of bucket list with things I want to learn.
Some of the things are:
Learn how to cook a proper thai meal. And a vietnamese one. An indonese one. Basically, I thing it would be nice if I would learn to cook at least one meal for every country I visit.
On the moment, I'm putting some effort in learning a word of two in Thai, but this effort will probably be in vain.
Other languages on my list: German and Spanish.
Apart from that, I want to learn as much as possible about other cultures, I want to learn how to dive, how to surf, how to drive a Tuktuk, how to say hi in 100 countries and so much more :).
