Hi! I’m Jan from the Netherlands.
After 24 years in social work, I’m now training to become a professional gardener.
I love meaningful conversations, riding my motorcycle, and being in nature.
I enjoy meeting people from all over the world and sharing real stories, good food, and a warm vibe.

Music, Movies, and Books

Music:
I like music that touches something real – soul, acoustic, world music, sometimes deep house to get in flow.

Movies:
I enjoy films with depth or a good story. Not too heavy, not too fake.

Books:
I like books about human nature, psychology, travel, and simple living.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I travelled through Ecuador by motorbike and had amazing encounters along the way.

Teach, Learn, Share
