I live (together with my son, 8 years old) on my own developed sustainable community housing project Arneco at a renovated farm at the boarder of the city of Arhem. Together with 15 other households we do urban agriculture on 1 hectare of land. I have a large house, so plenty of space to host people. For more information see www.arneco.org

CURRENT MISSION
Green the world UP !
There is only one world, and many generations :-)

PHILOSOPHY
The world can't be green enough. I believe in and work for a sustainable planet and society.
I love to be a vegetarian :-)

Please have look at my personal website focused on nutrient management:

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
I love to be a host and if necessary I love to be hosted somewhere in a new country :-)

From the start of Couchsurfing I hosted with pleasure many people in my beautiful apartment in the centre of Amsterdam. Now I am living in the city of Arnhem. In all these years I had very nice experiences being hosted by others in Sweden, UK, Belgium, Germany, Switzerland, Austria, France, USA and China. Thanks for all these nice moments!
