Tell us what you’d like us to know about youself;

I am a creative, adventurous, and spiritual woman, who loves to travel and meet other people and cultures. I am eager to learn new things to broaden my horizon and to grow on a personal level. In the past 48 years, I had 3 relationships, the longest was with the father of my daughter and son, we were 25 yrs. Together. But the loss of our son has taken its toll and we divorced in 2003. My life was pretty intense as I was the provider in the family, and I worked full-time.

Tell us about your career.
I started at the young age of 19 yrs with the airline KLM as a flight-attendant and did the job for 32 yrs, of which 16 yrs. were as Chief of cabin crew. I had a fantastic career, and I am looking back with great joy. In 2005 it was time for a change, met my last partner and we lived in the south of France where we ran a B&B and later on moved to Austria where we ran a fashion shop. Here I made Baroque costumes which I learned at the Fashion school Charles Montaigne in Amsterdam. At that time I was also modeling.
 
Since 2 yrs, I am, for the 1st time in my life, single. I don t want to go into details, but at the moment I am healing from the past and learning to embrace myself. Last year I learned Energetic Massage therapy and Reiki 1. And I assisted my daughter on yoga and mindfulness retreats, where I cooked for about 15 people. I love life and am grateful for everything I learned and will learn. The magic journey goes on!
