About Gert-jan...
Hello!
I love to join this wonderfull project, because I'm very interested in all the different people, cultures and countries of the world. I like to travel a lot to see, feel, smell, hear this by myself. But most of all I like to meet other people and to hear what is important in their life, in their country.
Postcrossing is a very pleasant way to get connected with the people of the world. I hope you will send me a postcard showing something of yourself, your country, your culture or anything that is important for you. It would be nice when you use a few words to explain why you have chosen your card, or to tell something about yourself.
And, by the way, I like the beautiful stamps of your country, because they express often the things your country is proud of.
I live in the city where the government of Holland is located, Den Haag. Beautiful city nearby the sea. Beautiful beaches and a very nice landscape including the iconic windmills, tullips and beautifull cities as Amsterdam, Delft, Leiden.
I work for the local government, the urban development department. At this moment I'm working at a new cultural centre, right in the centre of the city and at the transformation of the industrial fishing harbor into an area for tourists, living and leisure. I like my job.
In my spare time I really like to read literature from all over the world. And to listen to good music, of all kind. I like music the most when I can hear it live at a concert.
Watching sports on tv, especially rugby, cyling and soccer is an other favorite of me. When the wheather is OK, I also like to be in the outdoors for hiking, cycling, skiing or skating.
Happy postrossing!
