About Me

Studied: econometrics, psychology and marketing in Tilburg (Netherlands).

MY WORK / BUSINESS
Main job: team psychologist (self employed). Since 2010, co-founder of startup Cinema Culinair film+dinner events. Motto: "what you see, is what you eat". At the very second. So that you can see, hear, feel, and ... taste the movie. From: Julie and Julia and Chef to The Menu and La Grande Bouffe.

MY FUTURE
Working on two new startups: PersonalityTasting (events) and FiveFlavoursPersonality (online assessments).

MY LIFE
Is there more than work?? Euhm... yep. My friends are very important to me. Sharing my hobbies with them (architecture, cooking, swimming, traveling, etc). Oh yeah, and i'm gay, open minded, playful, and single.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm an explorer and inventor... always curious. 🌈 New people, new mindsets, new ideas, new lifestyles, new "disorders", new films/recipes, new ways of "living together", new dreams/business... . I love to cook for you, get to know you and -if you want- show you the city by taking a nice and long walk along the canals.
