Hi There, thanks for reading my Profile. :-)
I'm Hans, I've lived in Virginia Beach, VA, USA; Taipei (TW); Germany; Netherlands; United Kingdom, Japan.
I'm well-travelled and I speak several languages (Dutch/English/German/French/Italian/Spanish/Chinese, nearly fluent).

Many people think learning another language is difficult, but I can tell you, it's not. Those inherent different cultures give you a deeper understanding of Life.
During my life I've mostly spoken English, so I'm fluent but I also keep up-to-date with the other languages.

I'm a left-handed Aquarius ( yes, I confess, heheheh).
I'm 1.80m./83kg, blond hair, hazel eyes.
I strive for my healthy lifestyle now, I loooove fresh.

Currently I'm setting up my own company (fuzztec.com) and traveling while visiting friends.

To me, my Work and Private Life are both integrated: they represent who I am always, so that 9-to-5 mentality doesn't really apply to my lifestyle. Both provide me with the energy to enjoy every day and I am in Business 'him' who I am in Private Life too.

In my past I've always been very active with sports: Soccer, Athletics (even competing in National Championships) and even ran a few Marathons & 2 Triathlons.
Nowadays I only get around to an ocasional game of Squash and Fitness. I also like to go swimming, play tennis (but I'm no pro), and play Golf. I'm ok at playing Badminton, always willing to try all things.

I visit a nearby Sauna-Resort/hot spring once a month and like to go scuba-diving when possible when on vacation. I also like to go Skiing during Winters, but I've only been on 4 trips in my life so far.
I have done Yoga a few times, enjoyed it a lot hope to do it again sometimes.
Occasionally I find time to do Lucid Dreaming, but I know it takes more time.

I like to be busy creatively as you can see from my photos. I enjoy a balanced Quality Life; I'm organized and clean style person.
I believe I'm just your average person, I dress casual most of the time and I look sharp when wearing a suit. ;-)
I'm not a lazy bum > you'll see that I'm not scared of a good hard day's work.
In the home I know my responsibilities doing household chores, like doing the laundry and house-cleaning. I'm good at this because I have a small cleaning company. ^__^

On Sundays, I always love to prepare BIG Breakfast with all kinds of Fresh Fruits in Bowl, Pancakes and French Toast, Tea, Yoghurt, Eggs. All nicely prepared on Beautiful covered breakfast table. Takes me an hour to prepare, but I LOVE doing this.
You need cooking done? Ocasionally I cook my favorite: a great authentic 2.000 year old Pasta recipy straight from southern Italy.
I can [Healthy] stir-fry Chinese dishes, bbq steak & fries and make you great {Fresh} French-style dinner menus. Quality foods is Key and Naturally too.

I come from good family (love them) and few dear friends. I have always had much support from my parents; we are always supportive of eachother in many ways. My parents have always taught me Etiquette and Gentlemen style, it fit's my lifestyle and I'm thankful for that.

I am good with people, children and animals, but not crazy about spiders and mosquitos, heheheh. I hate roaches, and Yes, of course I will get rid of anything which doesn't belong in the house. ;-)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I hope to find and connect with kind people and make new friends anytime everywhere. It's great to meet new people, and I like that !!
We can exchange cooking styles, I'm sure it will be fun.
And, as you can see from my photos, I'm creative, so if you need some handyman work done on your home, then I am happy to help you !

I love reading the Threads, there are so many people each ith his/her/their own experiences, it's amazing ! So Good !!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've had a great time as an army soldier in 1990~1991. But I've accomplished so much more and appreciate every experience.

I enjoyed CS-ing at Fukuoka with Neal, it was my first CS experience, and a perfect one I might add.
Thanks so much Neal, I do appreciate your hospitality and every moment of my stay. ^_^

Teach, Learn, Share

Basically Life is all about enjoying and sharing life's experiences.
Give what we can, give from the heart - that's my motto.

Let's exchange good talks together with a good cup of tea.

I'm creative, so if you need some handyman work done on your home, then I am happy to help you ! I could clean your house if you want, as I have a small cleaning company, but that would depend on you, of course.

I can share many more, solving any PC question that you might have, and as I have one of the largest ebook collections possible (non-novels), I'm happy to give you any one you might need.
