Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
Im a nvc trainer and coach (marshall rosenberg) , its a great system to get clear on how humans work ,interact, and how to enjoy and release in that. I would enjoy sharing some of the (alternative) cultural spots and neighborhood activities and cycling. Amsterdam is bursting with things to do. local markets,canals, a swimmingpool are a few minutes away. lots of shops and galleries nearby.

What else ...
I have already hosted 4 volunteers to our mutual enjoyment. 20 minutes walk from central station , a safe area for woman , its a lovely historic neighbourhood with lots of canals and things to visit , also access to a private garden. Its an old house and i have neighbours and I get up around 8 am, so not suitable for party animals.I enjoy if someone can enjoy the work ; work independantely .Friendlyness and co-operation (giving and receiving) are important to me. I enjoy showing some of the places i enjoy ,cultural centers,swimming pool ,gym/concerts .smoke-free house. As I live close to airports(Schipol) and central train and bus station it may suit someone who has an other placement at the beginning or end of their stay …..
