About Me

CURRENT MISSION

is to calm down, settle somewhere, get a job, a couch and a dog. But first visit Asia and get to know the people there...!

ABOUT ME

a friend calls me 'Planet Energy'.
I love disco balls.
I'm a workaholic / designer / architect.
And I love landscapes, bridges and train stations -
and therefore need to travel from time to time...

PHILOSOPHY

Thinking outside the box might be facilitated by having a somewhat less intact box...

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

since I am moving almost every half year to work somewhere else, I never actually have a real couch to offer (in fact I own no furniture and I'm happy to have a matress for myself). but in the same way as I appreciate the help of locals I meet anywhere via this website (information, insider tips etc...), I hope to be able to help new people/travellers, when they're in my city (currently: Amsterdam, NL; previously: London, UK).
so... see you there!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I had a great night at Ray's place in Rotterdam, NL!!
And I was having a great time with Gonzo in Salta, Argentinia! Not only the couch, but also the help and advice of locals, was very helpful and a great chance to have an insight into another culture. Thank you for this!
