Description

Hello! My name is Lotje. I was born in Galway, Ireland, and grew up in the Netherlands. Nowadays I live in Eindhoven in The Netherlands. I am very easygoing and gentle. People allways tell me that i have a very calm presence around me. I like to laugh a lot and don't take life too seriously.

I currently work as a social worker with students who have been diagnosed with autism. It is a very nice and iteresting job. I enjoy it a lot to connect with all kinds of people, whatever their background is. That's probably why i studied a few different studies, all based on humans and humanity: cultural anthropology, social work, holistic therapy, Reiki therapist/ trainer and (how to guide) shinrin yoku. As you can see there's a bit of spirituality too. I am very interested in meditation and non duality too.

I am passionate about being in nature and just love (old) trees. I tend to go to the woods a few times a week, just to wander around a bit. Although i like hiking aswel! I'm into gardening. My boyfriend and i own an allotment (with a greenhouse!) since the beginning of this year. Although i am a beginner at this, it is of great interest to me, Especially gardening according to the principles of permaculture has my interest.

Also am i fond of doing some creative stuff (whatever i feel like doing at the specific moment, could be drawing, painting, singing or other stuff). In our home there are several DIY projects i have done, like a wooden bench, a coat rack and other things.

I am very interested in people, animals and cultures and love to travel.

What else ...

I like to play games, like Aeon's End and many other games. Also I like to read, basicly anything. With special interest in Sci-Fi and dramatic love stories. I am really into watching stars. Could do that for ages. Unfortunately i live in 'the light city' of The Netherlands, so very few stars are visible here at night.
