About Me

Back after a full year Swap Bot Break. New life, new energy so back to swapping now!

I worked many years as a lawyer and legal advisor but since 2012 I am legally disabled so live on a disability benefit I do work as a volunteer in a Maritime History Museum. Beside that I am also a volunteer in the Dutch Ducati Owners Club (DCN). One day a week I work as a legal advisor in AZC (refugee Camp) in Holland.

One of my hobbies is to ride my motorbike. It is adapted to my disabilities. Other things I love to do are crafting, reading and embroidery. I love to try new crafts and that is one of the reasons I love Swap bot!

Unfortunately surgery on my hands went a bit wrong and that makes crafting a challenge but i just need to do things with my hands to keep them working as good as it gets.

Please look at my Likes and Dislikes before sending me something extra!!!

Favorite Books

The Perfume (Patrick Suskind)

De Overgave (Arthur Japin)

All books by Robin Hobb

All plays en sonnets by Shakespeare

The songs of Ice and Fire (George RR Martin)

Discovery of Heaven (Harry Mulisch)

But also... history of Zeeland, History of Europe, Archeological sites, Paleographic books, Books about history and books about famous persons in history etc. I read about 5 books a week so there are many many many books I love

Favorite Music

I like blues and Jazz, but also music like Saybia, Kovacs, Queen, Pink Floyd, Muse, Coldplay, Kensington, Adele etc. I also like classic music a lot. Makes me relax when I need it. My favorite classic cd is Officium by Jan Garbarek & the Hilliard Ensemble.

I'm not religious at all, but I love to hear gregorian music in a church, abbey or cathedral.

Favorite Crafts

Embroidery is my favorite, but I love to explore other crafts and be inspired on Etsy and Pinterest.

I also paint and draw. But it's not that easy to make it the way I want it to be.I try though, and hope you'll like what I made for you !

postcards wishlist

If you send me a postcard, please read this!!!!! I love:

  1. cards with poems (please translate in english, german of french as I do speak those languages)
  2. motorcycles, I do prefer the old ones or racing bikes. Please no Harley's

  3. "arty" postcards, no mainstream things please.

I also really like that one card that you just don't dare to send to anyone.. :) I'm not afraid of bones, horror, skulls and other creepy stuff!

Tea things

Tea is my favorite drink! I just don't like any fruit taste. I'm allergic to fruits (really, this is not a joke) and I don't like the taste of it. The one and only exeption is LEMON. I like Lemontaste!

So If you send me any tea, please send herbal tea, black tea of green tea, anything will do as long as there's no fruit in there :)

I dislike

religious stuff (but I like a PC of a pope or cathedral)*

fruit (ALLERGIE)*

smoking*

cats and dogs (ALLERGIE!!) *

perfumed things (ALLERGIE!!)*

rings (bad hands!)*

bracelets (difficult because of operation scars) *

Pink girly things, soft colours *

food things (I try to lose weight!)*

things connected to baby's and children (I don't have them)*

the little "book" I get every now and then as an extra, where you have to fill in a facebookname etc. I really hate those and I will throw them away if I recieve them. Do not send them to me.

I like

necklaces of all kind and earrings(well, anything that isn't put around your wrist, finger of ankle :) ) *

art on bookmarks, handmade bookmarks and bookmarks with a special shape*

all things I can use to make creative "give a ways" *

maskingtape*

flowers en nature, specially mountains and deserts (and of course the sea/ocean). I also love snow and winterscenes *

embroidery and cross stitch stuff like skein/floss. I do have enough aida to embroider on for the rest of my life so please don't send me more!*

motorbikes, motorracing and everything connected with that *

red, black&white, green blue and Yellow *

history, WWI (great war), origin of mankind and other historical stuff*

science*

your reading tips, specially on fantasy & science Fiction but I do like all kinds of books*

Adress labels with my adress on them!

Thank you so much for the fun-filled envie -- it really wasn't necy. I was happy to resend. I would always rather resend and you end up with 2 packages than something go missing. Was very kind and thoughtful of you to send something to me when the second one arrived. Thank you so much!

Thanks for joining Inspiration Station!

I forgot to say-thanks for using the postage selvage(is that what it is called?) as decoration on the envelope, that is really cool!

Volgens mij heb ik mijn bedankbericht van de week bij een verkeerde persoon geplaatst. Bedankt voor het terugsturen van mijn volle stampbag. Ik ben gestopt met de stampbagswaps. Ik vond de inhoud helaas erg vaak teleurstellend. Maar toch bedankt voor de uitnodiging om mee te doen aan je swaps :-)
