“I have been working in insurance for twenty years. A nice job with nice colleagues. But in my spare time I do have some special hobbies. I am a highly motivated roller coaster rider. I travel the world trying out the biggest, coolest and newest roller coasters in theme parks.”
“I got hold of that micro thanks to my truth. We travel together. Evidently not wanting to receive his best expensive. We have just returned from Poland and have also visited theme parks in England, Dubai and Abu Dhabi over the past year. But the most memorable amusement park for me was the Universal Studios park in Florida. there you have one Harry Potterarea that looks like in the movies. When I walked in there, I thought of a little girl, full of wonder.”
“I also do re-enactment. In my spare time I am a costume Viking and I do sword fighting. I do this together with my 16-year-old son. Every Friday we train in a club in Sint-Niklaas. We do that with real swords, so if you do something wrong, you really hurt.”
“We also try to participate in camps eight times a year. We do that in full outfit. When I get into those clothes, I talk to myself. I feel very much at home with nothing: no electricity, no running water. At those moments you have to do everything together in the group. Life is then so many holidays.”
“I have guidelines for knitting and crocheting, but that’s not for me.”
