I’m a Dutch scholar with a focus on German and Dutch literary and cultural history and a German teacher.

I’m also a runner. I once started running because I felt my body and mind were telling me I needed to run. So I started running. Long distance running makes me stronger, physically and mentally. Running has also taught me how to spread my energy effectively and strengthened my endurance. I need running as much as breathing, talking and thinking.
