Hi, I'm Frans. I'm a Dutch solo-entrepreneur with a fascination for the human brain. I give courses in BrainFriendly Working, accelerated learning and consult in NeuroMarketing for online sales. I love to travel, but don't nearly travel enough. I love meeting new people and experiences other cultures. I'm a coffee-addict, well let's put it nicely: I'm a coffeelover. I love animals and have a dog and a cat. My girlfriend will fully disagree and say the cat is her's. However.. she is right, it is her cat and so cute. That's me, got any questions? Feel free to ask me. I probably don't know the answer either, but it's better to wonder in company then alone. PS I don't drink often, but if I drink it's a good dry red wine.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm on Coachsurfing because a I don't want to live the tourist life. I want to experience the real life of the places I visit. What better way to do that then to meet and hopefully stay at someone's place who's a local?

Interests

I love reading, coffee, travelling and the good thing is that these go very well together. Okay and one more interest that I haven't mentioned yet: I love cooking. I follow a ketogenic diet, so no grains, rice, starch, beans, lentils, sugar, fruits, milk or any junk food. My girlfriend is vegetarian and I do the cooking. This means that a lot of creativity is needed and she keeps telling me I should open my own restaurant. Not sure if it's because of the quality of cooking or because she loves me ;) I do really like to cook.

Music, Movies, and Books

Favorite music: Yann Tiersen
Favorite movie: Dumbo (last saw it when I was a kid, but yes I secretly still love the movie)
Books: pfff too many to mention, but let's give it a try; All the Sherlock Holmes stories, books by Jonathan Kellerman, Nikky French, Millennium trilogy, Harry Potter (of course) and books about ancient Greece, Rome, Persia, etc. I definitely don't like reading manuals, not even the Ikea manuals.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I'll tell you in private. It's something very cool, but I wouldn't put it out here on this site for everyone to read.

Teach, Learn, Share

Teach, Learn, Share: Yes, yes, yes.

And a good sense of humour too.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Dutch chocolate, no it's not Belgium, but still good. Some interesting stories. If you want to know more about the brain, how to study easier or some neuromarketing tips... then we need plenty of time, because I won't stop talking ;)
