I was born in the Southern Hemishere, in South Africa where I lived until I was ten. In 1975 I moved to the Netherlands, to beautiful Groningen, which is about 3 feet above sea level. Groningen is the largest town in the north of Holland and has a population of about 185,000 people.
When I was 17, I went to uni for applied sciences and received my teaching degree at 23. I started teaching at high school; teenagers are my favourite kind of people. After 18 years of teaching Social Science; Personal, Social and Health Education and English I decided to go back to uni to pursue my other passion, Communication and New Media. I’m a web communication consultant now, I started my own business at iCommunicatie.
I recently discovered I really love photography. After shooting with a Panasonic Lumix FZ30 for a few years, I decided to buy a DSLR and take photography classes. You can see my work on Flickr.
My other interests in life are wildlife & food. My favourite food city is Singapore. I could easily spend a year there. Just walking from one hawker centre to the other, tasting all the food. Besides enjoying delicious food, I like being outdoors: watching wildlife, big and small; landscapes, seascapes. I’m a newbie birdwatcher. I actually started watching birds on my first trip to Australia, in 2002. I got more involved in birding during recent trips to South Africa. I’m a lousy lister though.
