About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Photograph the Aurora Borealis with a large format camera and make my own posters :-)

ABOUT ME

I'm doing a master in cultural anthropology @ Utrecht University at the moment.

Secondly I'm an meta-realistic painter, photographer and I like to organize events. I've had my own art-gallery in the past and I've had some crazy hobbies (earned my money for couple of years doing fire-shows). Oh, and did I already say: I love photography?!

PHILOSOPHY

If opportunity doesn't knock, build a door.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

New years dive in northern Norway ^_^ yep, the water was just below 0 degrees celcius! Brrrrrrr...

Hitchhiking by myself from Utrecht to Istanbul! :-D
Those are 2 things, argh...

Teach, Learn, Share

Out-of-box-thinking combined with glass-half-full is the magic word for me, I can look at things always just a tad bit different than most people and I'm pretty much always positive-minded.
