I'm Thinkie. I live in Zoetermeer, The Netherlands with husband Maarten and bunny Aafje.
I study Cultural Studies at Open University.
It's a mix of history, historiography, art history, literature and philosophy.
I'm chronically ill (CFS, Fibromyalgia and a stomach disorder), this means, amongst other things, that
I have limited energy. It influences most things I do. Fortunately there are a lot of things I cān do,
although often with some adaptations. I need a lot of sleep.
While other people go on vacation to relax, for me vacations are the most active periods of the year.
We have come up with a lot of little adaptations to make travelling easier for me and I always spend
a lot of time preparing. We use different types of transportation; plane, car, boat, tram, underground,
short busrides but most of all trains. We hardly ever stay in one place when on vacation and we do a
lot of sightseeing and visit tons of museums. Inbetween vacations we also go on a lot of daytrips,
there are a lot of pretty old towns and sights in The Netherlands and I visit museums regularly.
Wherever I go I bring one or both of my Cupcake mascots and a photocamera.
Photography is my passion and with those photo's I like to make scrapbooks and photo-albums of our
vacations and daytrips and about our daily life. I'm also an art journaller. I like reading. I enjoy
other forms of crafting (like making gifts for people). My favorite holiday is Sinterklaas.
I'm a recovering nailbiter. I have a never ending to do list. I allow myself to give in to my
chocolate addiction just a little each day. I like rock music.
