I worked as tour-leader in South en Middle America for 6 years.
I love Salsa dancing, go to Flamenco music meetings, having diner or a drink with friends, and go traveling.

Music, Movies, and Books

I like to read, but it depends on were I am or what I am doing at the time,art, detective, live story's , history.. Music is for dancing like the Salsa and the flamenco music, the rest is back ground.
Movies,no horror or war movies,but some action is o.k.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I did a lot in my live, and I can find small things
very special to. It does not have to be big to be special. Meeting a new person is sometimes just as special as a dive in a big ocean.

Teach, Learn, Share

I had a puppet theater for more than 10 years and know a lot about that, so I can share my know how.
At the moment I am a sculptor working in stone and if you like you can stay and work with me in my atelier.
I also work now and than as a cook or as a assistant cook in a world kitchen.
