About Me

CURRENT MISSION

become more human

ABOUT ME

I'm a teacher (Dutch and English), so I'm quite sociable and very eager to learn: about cultures, languages, other people's skills and knowledge, ...

PHILOSOPHY

I guess the parable of the Good Samaritan resembles my lifestyle the most, although I'm not a christian. The idea of becoming another one's neighbour appeals to me because I think one should have as much fun as possible, without bothering other people, and - if possible - to help others to enjoy life as well.
