About Me

CURRENT MISSION

If you don’t know where you’re going, any road will get you there.

ABOUT ME

26 years ago, on a cold winter morning, this boy was born in the 'Light-city' Eindhoven! Eric liked to sleep, eat, drink, play and laugh... and now, after 26 years, nothing really changed. Eric is living in Utrecht, where he, besides sleeping, eating, playing and laughing he was studing: Biomedical Sciences. Now he works as a science journalist and webeditor for a Dutch television broadcaster. Eric enjoys life.

PHILOSOPHY

Alles heeft een einde en een worst wel twee

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Having the best view on the rooftop of an overcrowded bus driving trough the Himalaya, a summer-night BBQ with friends in Utrecht, Finding a monkey in your kitchen trying to make a omelet in Jaipur, Sitting outside in a inflatable swimming-pool with hot water in the middle of the winter, read a lot of amazing books that totally took me into the story for hours, days and weeks; Lived for a few days with a mullah in Iran, ate a boiled head of a sheep, saw the sunrise in the Ganges... walking around in pyjamas all day.
