Meet Romy
Creative, Sociable, Energetic
I moved here from the Netherlands, 12 years ago. I speak Dutch and English. I can see Calgary and surroundings through the lens of a visitor or a local.
On a typical day...
I have a very open house. My house is your house.
When I host guests...
I like to chat with them when they are home but have my own things going on.
