Woman, 37, Noord-Holland

Independent kitesurfer with a love for adventure and tranquility seeks a grounded, decisive man who challenges her without overshadowing her

She spends her free time on the beach, harnessing the wind and waves on her kiteboard, or at home with a historical novel and a leisurely meal that lasts for hours

As a financial policy advisor in social housing, she combines her analytical skills with the satisfaction of making a societal impact, after previously bridging cultures and markets internationally

She seeks a man who is confident in himself, appreciates her directness, and makes her feel she doesn’t always have to take the lead

Together, they want to fill their Saturdays with a quick kitesurfing session followed by a relaxed meal, and evenings alternating between bad TV and making plans for trips or building a life of their own
