About We are a working couple and we are both still working. Erik is a dentist and has a small practice. Karolien is a teacher of English at a secondary school. We both enjoy outdoor activities such as walking / sailing / hiking / cycling. We have to grown-up children who no longer live at home, they both live in Rotterdam. We are relatively quiet and take good care of our home and will do likewise with yours. We like culture and sightseeing as well as being outside. We look after our garden and love lots of flowers in it. We are not very outgoing and love to spend time together and with friends and family.
