  • Description

    Hi! I am an 57 year old/young man from the Netherlands, married with one daughter.
    People call me social, enthusiastic, creative, driven, hard working.

    I studied social work, but also computerscience. I like to play tabletennis, act, play all kind of games, but also try to be mindful.
    My job is social work. I help people who are not able to work to particpate in society.

    I want to live my dreams by traveling as much as I can and helping people elsewhere on the world. And learn a lot about the different cultures and exchange with what we in our little country have.

    Every year I like to make a trip to help other people and explore culture.
    In 2017 I was voluntary english teacher on a primary school in Nakhon Sawan, Thailand which was an amazing experience. Great for me and as I've been told the school was very happy with my contribution also.

    In 2018 I helped an NGO in Chiang Khong (Thailand) who supports Thai people with HIV/AIDS by doing social media, the website, teaxching english and also some fundraising . Also I represented them as the mascotte at fairs and other exhibitions.

    In 2019 I worked in a meditation centre aka rescue centre in Myanmar, helping the patients in daily care and I was assistent physiotherapie, but also make fun with them, singing, dancing and so on.

    In 2026 I helped in a project for single mums and underpriviliged teenagers in Nairobo Kenia. Teaching massage and helping the director to get her organization on a higher level in terms of entrepreneurship.
