Introducing Joop van der Donk (gaviota)

Hello everybody,
I just joinded this interesting internet community about the camino and will introduce myself briefly. Walked the camino in Sptember/October 2007 from St. Jean to Finisterra. Found so much friendship and hospitality during my walk that I really wanted to do something back. So, currently I'm a volunteer at the camino information center in Utrecht (The Netherlands) to help starting pilgrims to get going. Next year september I will be in Rabanal de Camino as a hospitalero in the Gaucelmo refugio. Via this board I am staying in touch with pilgrims to get an idea of which questions and discussions are being posted. This keeps my information about the camino fresh. If possible I will be glad to share my experience and will be most pleased to answer any questions if possible.

Short cv: man, 52, married, 3 children. Profession: communications consultant.

Question: is there an possibilty to attch my profile to this weblog (e.g a picture and some words, like Ivar did?). Oh, by the way, my real name is Joop (comes from John, Johannes, Juan). Hasta la proxima vez! Saludos, gaviota.
