CURRENT MISSION

To find people who want to enjoy this world the same way as I do, enjoy it in the small ways, and share the smallest idiosyncracies that can bring a sense of happiness

ABOUT ME

I just noticed that this section has been saying "more to come soon!" for about five years now. So here it is: I'm a sometimes laid-back, sometimes hardworking guy doing data science in Amsterdam. There are a lot of things I enjoy, but I sometimes lack the time to do all of them. I particularly enjoy books, statistics, music, sports, etc.. Kind of non-descript, I know, so you'll have to experience that first hand.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Traveled around the NE of the USA for a month just couchsurfing, and was able to host a number of people in Maastricht. Actually, and probably the most important thing here, is that I'd say I've met some of my very best friends through Couchsurfing.

Interests

Music (listening, as well as playing my guitar, harmonica and keyboard til the early hours), movies, soccer, sports, traveling (obviously ;-)), books, games (I reluctantly admit :-) )...
