Travel information

Description

Social Worker who recently moved to Ireland in search of a bit more peace and nature! I like architecture, Interieur design, hiking, cycling and canoeing, DIY projects/crafts, reading, playing board games, going to pubs/concerts, cooking, baking, and gardening (I am a beginner, so please do not expect too much, I am happy to learn though!). I would say I am easygoing, calm, compassionate and open-minded.

What else ...

I am a curious person so I love to learn new things. I like building up a connection, having meals together, watching a movie or doing boardgames... not needed but would be nice. I am a hard worker. Please communicate what you expect/want from me, I am Dutch so a direct and clear approach is very helpful and I won't be easily offended. ;)
