"Travelling solo, I love it!" MaaikeSchmit's Profile

What really love about travelling.

What I really love about travelling is meeting people. By travelling solo, I meet more people than I do when traveling with others. Locals and other travellers tend to stay away from couples. They don’t want to interrupt. When I’m alone, they feel free to step in and chat. I love it. While there are many reasons to travel alone, this is my favourite.

I see meeting people as an opportunity. Not all are interested in me but those who are tend to be really interesting themselves. They want to talk to me because I’m an anomaly. I want to talk with them because they are a window into another generation.

Sleepy head!

Just woke up for a nap.

Hi guys, I am one of the worlds biggest sleepy heads you probably can find. I do sleep all the time that I can get. I trully luv to sleep and enjoy it most. I guess that's my hobby.

Soon I will challenge world recor for sleeping. If there is anyone that sleeps more than me, please contact me so I can beat ur record :)

BTW: Once I have slept continiously for 49hrs thanx to my mum who didn't wake me up for school and I slept slept slept. Goodnight!

My favorite city is Paris!

Being in Paris.

Paris is a city in which I can spend a lifetime exploring and never find the full extent of its marvels. In selecting it as my favorite international city I chose to share with you some of the impressions of Paris I recall from over 10 visits to this city of light!

What I do

In action!

In my daily routine I am a secretary. My work consists of supporting the entire management, including 2 executives. I'm using a variety of project management, communication and organizational skills. I love what I do and I do it good - LOL

The huge advantage of my job is that I have some extra days off every year, so i can travel around!

Maaike, Bedankt voor jouw bezoek aan mijn Orvelte pagina. Meteen maar een typefoutje hersteld en een handvol Internet links weer tot leven gebracht. Verder kwam ik er achter, dat graficus Toon Wegner in 2010 was overleden. Altijd goed om tips na te lopen en waar nodig te verbeteren. BTW Heb jij ook een typefout bij jouw real name? Daar staat Maakie. PJ
