After my Master Cultural Studies, Design & Visual Communication in The Netherlands and Italy, I worked from The Netherlands throughout the world as a cultural and design researcher and creative entrepreneur until in 2012 I took the decision of leaving my steady job and home in the Netherlands to research a life about other ways, and above all other ethics of living.

Since then I've travelled, living without steady home-base mainly exploring North and South America, first with my great love by my side after that by my self. I love surfing, reading, writing, good conversations, and being outdoors.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Life is about "the art of meeting," you never know who is going to touch your life in what way.
