Description

Every day I do some sort of physical movement/excercise. This in combination with being outdoors in the mids of nature is my absolute sweet spot!
I love to run, hike, cycle, lift weights, do yoga and play tennis. But basically every thing with sports, movement and playing with others is what brings a lot of joy to me.

Besides this, I also really love to be creative and make things with my hands. Because I work as a freelancer I have a lot of free time and therefore I almost everyday on my “free” days do woodworking projects. Some of the things I made are wall shelves, a cutting board and a chess board!
Besides this, I also really experience to be in “flow state” by doing other hands on projects where you relatively fast see the results of your labour. For example I re-designed my garden and I really love the execution part; like chopping down a tree, splitting the fire wood (especially loved this!), planning out and building a garden canopy. But I also enjoy being outdoors doing general garden maintenance.

I also really like to express my creativity in cooking; from all sorts of cuisines, from spicy curries to creamy pasta’s. With me there is never a dull meal, from breakfast, lunch and diner it’s always a party. Life is too short to eat boring meals. I am also very interested and open to learn new and local ways of living/cooking!
