I'm excited about using social media to empower brands to connect with consumers. The fast moving field of digital marketing really suits me as I love change and adventure especially action sports. Kite/surfing is one of my biggest passions and a great excuse to travel the world and meet people with similar passions. Oh and I'm actually a part-time kitesurf instructor too, in case you'd like to learn! ;-)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To meet new people and discover their passions!

Interests

Sports, sports, sports! Think surfing, kiteboarding, wakeboarding, snowboarding, longboarding, basically anything that involves a board and water (in any shape). So if you were wondering, does he like the beach? Yes, Absolutely! Does he like to travel, of course including shooting some pics! As food is another passion of him, you can also find him in the kitchen prepping delicious meals preferably with fresh ingredients.

I guess only little time is left for a few other hobbies/interests like: (table)tennis, yoga, mountain biking, rock climbing, movies, Netflix, Spotify, salsa, museums, marketing, advertising, start-ups!
