  • What else ...

    I am a peaceful person who likes to drink lots of coffee. I trained shotokan karate for many years, at the moment i visit the gym 3 times a week to keep myself healthy and fit and I practice some yoga. I like to make quilts and I love my 2 sons. They take good care of themselves now so I can explore the world again. Besides my daily work in my shop visit a family who fled from the war in Syrië to help them speaking Dutch and to help them with other things that come up. I also volunteer in a filmtheater as a barkeeper once a month. Many years ago I spent two summer holidays in France to work at a citadel in Montmedy: To protect the citadel walls we had to remove plants from the walls so that they wouldn’t destroy the old bricks. I also helped in the kitchen cooking for the other people (about 15 ) and of course cleaning. It was great fun!
    a few years before working at the citadel I picked grapes in France. Cote du Rhône
