About her Languages:
She understands almost all dialects in The Netherlands, and there are 11 or more dialects. Also the Liemers dialect and closest to the Liemers, the German border dialect is also called the Liemers, but with a German accent. That from the Dutch Liemers is with a Dutch accent. From all Dutch dialects, that of Friesland and Limburg, she knows as best.

About her State of being:
She is a lecturer for students through iPhone and an evangelist on Websites, and through iPhone, but never in churches. She loves her private time being alone with her Art, Work, and Study.


For both, she has graduated. But she loves traveling too, all over the Globe.
Everyone writes the word TRAVELLING with two l, but she prefers to write it with ONE letter l


Some humorous stories from her experience in the USA: They say: you are a certified evangelist (one with a certificate) . She was surprised that the Americans put stress on the name 'certificated' or 'certified'. Just an observation, that´s all.
The North Americans are very nice, they all greeted her every day with Have A Nice Day..
