Profile
I'm Richard Gimpel,44 years,marrried with Jacqueline and father of twin boys Justin and Dyan.I work as a aircaft ground engineer for KLM.I like to travel a lot,and working for an airline give's me the oppertunity to travel cheap when seats are available.In europe we travel most of the time with the car and the caravan.Our favorite country to go is Luxemburg and France,great countries for walking,touring and side seeing.
In the netherlands i live in a village called Zeewolde.It's located in the provincie Flevoland , a new made island in the middle of the Netherlands.We live about 3 meters below sea level, but that is normal for the Netherlands.As a volunteer i work for an aviation museum. The restauration of old aeroplanes is a big passion of me.
My dream destination in europe is the northcape in the summer,i want to see daylight in the middle of the night and in the world i like to go to Palau.So when the kids are older we will grab our backpack and go.

Hoe is het bij jou/jullie?
Voor mij (en vele anderen) een korte werkweek, en dan, volgende week ook maar 4 dagen en vervolgens mijn lang gewenste 'Centraal Europa' reis. Ik kijk er naar uit!
Groetjes,
