I am a 36 year old young lady, mom of two little girls, with my husband enjoying our lives in Amsterdam. I work as a psychologist and when free I enjoy to play with our kids, feel good by doing different sports, love to have a drink with friends, go to a fine restaurant and travel when possible to see what the world has to offer. Before having kids we traveled a lot in Asia (eg Myanmar India Vietnam) and the Middle East (Iran, Jordan, Syria, Israel), but also to Cuba Canada and the US. But just this summer we went to see Malaysia together with the girls, and we moved for a short time to Washington DC in winter 2016/2017.
At the moment I’d like to see something totally different: Iceland. I am somebody who’s open to learn more about many things, I’m enthusiastic and not somebody who’s happy having hours of discussion about heavy stuff. I’d love to bring something Dutch along with me like our famous pancakes or stroopwafels.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Too many! I enjoyed staying in South Africa for my studies. Also I loved climbing a mountain near chengdu/China, very happy to have been able to be in Syria before the war, Cuba under Fidel Castro etc. But also enjoyed sailing camps as a teenager and skiing holidays with family and friends.
