About Me

We're a family with two teenagers, twins Karel and Madelief (born July 12, 2006). You can come stay for a night or two, maybe we can share a meal or play board games.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

It was a nice way to meet people. Now it's all commercialized and I'm not so sure anymore.
I joined Bewelcome but it's not so actie there so I decided to re-open my CS profile.

Interests

My hobby is Lego. I am an AFOL (Adult Fan of Lego), so I create my own models and sometimes show them at expositions, or online. My creations are here: http://etilego.notlong.com

I also like travelling, board and card games, cats, saunas, hiking, films and series. I work for television as a subtitle translator.

Esther is into cooking, philosophy, tai chi and meditation. She works for an electricity company in Amsterdam.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
