Arjen (pronounced something like “Aryan”) worked at the hostel’s front desk four years ago (2008). He is a teacher in his native Holland and had opted to take a year off for a working/holiday in Canada.
So Arjen joined the long list of work visa backpackers who join our staff for a year.
In times past, old friendships and aquaintances gradually fade and become distant menories. Not so in the “wired” 21st Century.
We just heard from Arjen who had been net surfing and came upon our website. It prompted him to write. Here is what he wrote:
“Wow, looking at the Hall of Fame of out hostel, I wonder if there will be small niche for me. I promise I will come back one day, with my fiancee!
After returning from Canada I took up a job being a bilingual teacher in one of Hollands international schools, teaching history (in English).
I would like to thank all of you over there that showed me that life is all about having a good time, and taking those experiences with us for the better development as a person.”
Regards,
Arjen
OK. Great to hear from you Arjen! This works for us. We’ll be putting you up on the hostel’s “Wall of Fame” very shortly. We’ll let you know when it is online so you can see and read what has been written about you.
And we’ll hold you to your promise to visit with your fiancee.
Arjen
Can I also apply for a small spot on the hall of fame?
something like ”speeding Wouter”

Dutch Wouter
