  Description

  I'm a retired librarian and Dutch teacher for adult immigrants. I write novels. I played theater and guided theatre and writing projects with teens. Dancing is important in my life: folk, forro, Brazilian zouk, contact impro. I live in a nice house with a garden around, at some ten minutes walk from the beach. I have several spare rooms. I live alone for the moment. I have a lot of experience as a CouchSurfer.
  I have some small jobs to do in and around the house. You can also please me with preparing food.
  I have a lot of free time to take you around. There are many things to see, depending on your interests: natural places, WWI en II memorials, old towns with incredible architecture, art museums, etc.
  Let's see if we feel a click and then the adventure can start.
