David, travel guide

35 years and has been travel guide for at least 8 years, mostly in China, South-Afrika and Canada. He's a genuine traveller, doesn't have an address in the Netherlands and his parents live in Canada. He has plans to stop travelling in a few years from now, also because he has a girl-friend back in Holland.

Annie and Frans from Aaalten

A nice older couple that has travelled quite a lot and spent some years on Aruba. Frans is a technics teacher and very interested in how things are done in China. Together with him we visited a small carpenter shop on the countriside. Strange enough the made a similar trip through China about two years ago

Rit from Belgium

A woman travelling along, where ww didn't have much contact with. She shared a room together with Gerrit who was also travelling alone. They didn't seem to get along very well.

Gerrit from Avenhorn

A very prominent person. A nice guy of 33 that talks a little too much about fact and you-know's, but seems too listen to other a little to little

Daphne and Fred from Leidschendam

Also an older couple spending much time with Annie and Frans. Both of them are geologists and very interested in nature and animals ('I found the skin of a sprocket, for in my scrapbook!')

Ivo and Loes from Sevenum

A couple of approximately our age where we hung out with quite a lot. Loes works with psychiatry patients and Ivo works on the 'Studiehuis' of a school. We could get along quite well.
