Travelling
My next destination:
Principality of Asturias, Spain - from Jan 2024 until May 2024 View allDescription
I'm Eelke de Rooij from the Netherlands. I'm a person how can be fine on his own but also enjoys company, but some times I do want some time by my self. I usually get along with pretty much every one. I speak Dutch, English, some German and I'm practising Spanish. I like to travel and have been in a lot of places in Europe, and a few outside Europe, mostly holidays en some longer travels. I'm interested in other cultures and love to learn more from people living in the places I visit. I decided to quit my job and travel for some time to see some more of Europe and try to get closer to nature and simple living. I would love to stay some were were I can enjoy nature and spend some time on my hobby painting. I have my painting equipment with me so that wil be a great way to spend my time off.
