About Me

ABOUT ME

I'm the kind of girl that jumps in the cold lake right away, telling everyone on the shore that the water is great.

I teach Nonviolent Communication to schools.

I like dancing (tried everything from modern to streetdance to belly dance),
food ( fruits & veggies! things from the oven!)
films (art house, any kind but thrillers) and listening to music.

If you come to my place you can learn
*what are the most fun and beautiful spots in Amsterdam, or
*how to make your own pesto
*how to sleep comfortable on a roof terrace
*how to run barefoot
*how to say useless things in Dutch
or just chill out :-)

PHILOSOPHY

Adventure may hurt you, but monotony will kill you

I believe in only doing what you really want and communicating openly.

I'm glad that everyone is unique

Treat your body as if you only have one, because that is the case.

In case of doubt: have fun

The waterfalls of Iguazu. I visited them before the park was open, I had these amazing waterfalls all to myself. Or so I thought. Later I found out that the president of Argentina was visiting them at the same time...
