ABOUT ME
I am 31 old, living with my boyfriend, our 2 daughters and 2 cats in the centre of Amsterdam. I am working as a consultant in the pharmaceutical area.
When meeting friends, I love to do social activities at home (cooking, playing board and parlor games, watching a good movie,....) or outside (barbecueing, playing beach volleyball, frisbee, table-tennis....)
PHILOSOPHY
Ghandi had it right: Be the change you want to see in the world!

Music, Movies, and Books
I love all the books by John Irving and Matt Ruff.
I really like the 'Wicker Park' movie.
And I like to listen to all kinds of Indie, Pop, Rock and Jazz.
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
Watched (and helped) our dog giving birth to three puppies. An amazing experience!
Teach, Learn, Share
I could teach how to braid baskets, e.g. from bast fibers. More recently I started to sew clothes for my kids.
In our household we do a lot of stuff ourselves: carpentry (shelves, tables, beds that exactly fit the apartment), clothes and accessories, I myself know a bit about gardening and (with the spring approaching fast) will soon start to prepare our small back yard for growing some vegetables and herbs.
And, some day, I would like to learn Chinese (though that is nothing I could achieve during a couchsurfing visit). :)
