ABOUT ME

I love the Outdoors, especially hiking and cycling. Unfortunately there are no mountains in this region so hiking or mountainbiking is not spectacular here, but long distance cycling is very convenient. I also like to play Basketball.
Beside that I am a very positive open minded person.
I like to cook and I will be very happy with cooking us a good dinner when you are here.
I also enjoy all sorts of games (Card and Boardgames)
I work in a forrest kindergarden.
So when there are holidays in the kindergarden my most favorite thing to do is traveling, mainly to do some awesome hiking somewhere while meeting some interesting people.
I am quite interested in politics as well.

PHILOSOPHY

There is a pleasure in the pathless woods,
There is a rapture on the lonely shore,
There is society, where none intrudes,
By the deep sea, and music in its roar:
I love not man the less, but Nature more.

Lord Byron
