As a kid I was crazy about ice-skating & roller-skating, swimming and reading. Since I read day and night, it did not take me long to finish all the books in our local library. As I grew older, I added schoolbooks to my reading list. Eventually I became a sociologist/child criminologist. After that I started to study the history of art of South-East Asia & Chinese. I travelled extensively and I did a lot of different jobs: at some time I was a party organizer in an old people's home, but I have also been the assistent of an art dealer in 17th century paintings. Nowadays I like reading, watching movies, cooking, sailing and skiing and I still like ice-skating and roller-skating.
I live in Amsterdam with my husband and our two sons Boris and Mees.
