Hello! My name is Rick, a passionate host and traveler who values hospitality and cultural immersion. Born in Holland, I share Dutch "gezelligheid" everywhere I go. Now based in Thailand, I'm dedicated to acquiring Thai language and culture. My travels have broadened my perspective, taught me new things, and allowed me to connect with others on a deeper level. In my spare time, I enjoy reading, hiking, trying new foods, philosophy, coffee, and meditation. I hope my journey inspires others to explore, connect, and find joy in new experiences. Stepping outside comfort zones can lead to personal growth and happiness 🥳🥳.

Learning Dutch 🇳🇱 is more than just memorizing words and rules; it's about immersing yourself in a rich culture 🎭 and its unique stories 📖. I've worked in diverse environments, from government corridors 🏛️ to dynamic PR scenes 📢, bringing real-world anecdotes to our lessons that make Dutch come alive for you.

Every lesson is a step into the heart of Dutch culture 🌷, blending traditional lessons with contemporary insights and stories. My goal is to guide you through this exciting adventure 🧭, ensuring each lesson is insightful, grounded, and tailored to your pace 🚶‍♂️. Let's make learning Dutch relatable, authentic, and most importantly, fun 🥳!
