About Me

ABOUT US

Born in Delft and living in Delft with my super awesome wife, Sarah, who is originally from Singapore. We are a good kind of weird and love to make new friends. If you want to see more of Delft or have a nice Asian home cooked meal, drop me a message!

PHILOSOPHY

Don't live in regret.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Roadtrip in South Africa!
Given workshops in Dubai and Singapore although I got thrown in a holding cell in Singapore for a few nights because my passport was not valid for at least 6 months. It's a long story... But you can ask me about it :)
So here's a tip for all you travelers, make sure your passport is valid for at least 6 months!

My visit to the Burning man festival is one of my favourite experiences!

Teach, Learn, Share

Hmm, I guess I got something to teach but even more to learn ;)
If you'd like I can teach you some Dutch or Cantonese or maybe even some basic Japanese phrases.
I've worked as a webdeveloper for over 5 years. I suppose I could teach people how to build a proper website :P
I've been performing Lion dance, a Chinese ritual, for several years now as a hobby so I can teach you some moves.

What I'd like to learn?
I love learning about other cultures. I recently discovered photography as a hobby and like to learn more about it.
