Hey there! 👋 Open to both Dutch and English conversations! I live in Groningen.
I'm living a relatively comfortable life, but if I'm being completely honest, it's been lacking any real spice lately. I have realized I've been playing it a little too safe in my cozy introverted bubble, and honestly, it is time for a hard reset. I am genuinely ready to shake off the cobwebs, and give my social life a bit of a jump-start.
I’m looking for new pals, whether that means grabbing a drink in real life, becoming virtual friends, or just being texting buddies. I want someone to share the day-to-day with. Let’s ask each other deeply meaningful questions, or entirely meaningless ones. Send me photos of your dinner, a cool building you walked past, or just vent about your day. Broaden my horizons!
A quick cheat-sheet about who you'd be talking to:
• I used to be a die-hard coffee drinker, but I am slowly (and suspiciously) converting to tea.
• I absolutely thrive living in a bustling city, but my ideal vacation involves fleeing to a remote wilderness to hike and bike until my legs give out.
• Paperbacks > Hardcovers. Always.
• I love experimenting in the kitchen. Results may vary, but I am yet to poison anyone.
• I own way more watches than any sane person should.
• I’m a former fit guy who got fat, and I'm currently trying (and mostly failing) to get fit again. Accountability buddies are welcome!
• I'm in the middle of a postgraduate course for work, so my evenings currently involve a lot of studying 😅
On a more serious note: I like to be an open book. I’ve struggled with my mental health in the past, and though I'm doing much better now, I continue to go to therapy. I share this because I’m a big believer in acknowledging our battles, and I want you to know I’m a safe, open-minded, and non-judgmental space. LGBTQ+ friendly, I'm somewhere on the non-binary spectrum myself.
If you're up for a chat but aren't sure how to start a conversation, just tell me about your favorite recipe!
Hope to hear from you soon!
