About me:

Well i just started to explore the universe since two years ago. I see to it that i atleast travel 4 times per year out of the Benelux region, since Holland is tiny, it is easy to go to the neighborhood countries. So within the benelux (belgium/netherlands/luxemburg) is not really considered going abroad to me. I am open-minded, would like to try new things when it comes to food, sightseeing, nightlife and work upto relaxation. Outdoor activities are important to me. Travelling alone or with someone is alright.
