CURRENT MISSION

Live as if you were to die tomorrow, but learn as if you were to live forever!

ABOUT ME

I'm a 28 year old Dutch Mechanical Engineer who had the luck of having a father at KLM (the Dutch airlines), meaning I got the chance to see much of the world for only a fraction of the normal ticket price =).

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Music, Movies, and Books

I enjoy many type of movies, from the crappy big Hollywood blockbusters to the small movies that really know how to touch you... Don't read enough but I enjoy popular science books a lot, and music is mostly punk rock oriented, but a lot will entertain me =)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Snowboarded at -37degC (okay that's including wind-chill-factor). I've compared the Victoria falls, Niagara falls & Foz do Iguacu falls, where Iguacu was one of the most beautiful placed I've ever visited!

Teach, Learn, Share

Well one think my travels have taught me is that you shouldn't have rattling coins in your pockets when confronted by Brazilian street children... ;)
