CURRENT MISSION

To explore Europe before heading across to live in Canada. Jaan has dutch heritage and has never before visited Europe, so we are doing the rounds so he can see Holland and meet some of his family for the first time.

Music, Movies, and Books

I have a huge pile of books I want to get through, currently I am reading The Chrysalids by John Wyndham. Music-I'm into all sorts-every week it changes. Movies- I love Indie films, things that are a bit quirky and also movies with great cinematography.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I climbed Mount Batur, a volcano in Bali, in the early hours in the dark, and on summiting I saw the most incredible sunrise...I even cooked breakfast in the volcanic steam at the top!

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach English-I can teach 'Northern' English ha! I know a bit of Spanish and French, and love learning languages.
I also love music and can play the piano, alto saxophone, and a few songs (very badly) on ukulele..so I can teach these too!

What I Can Share with Hosts

We are both keen musicians. Perhaps we can play a song for you!
We also love to swap stories and ideas. We love meeting and talking to new people, to make the most of life, to have fun!

Countries I’ve Lived In

Australia, Spain, Sweden, United Kingdom
