About Me

I am a fulltime masters' student in Earth Sciences, specialized in water sciences. Apart from that, I like to travel the world and make it more sustainable in the process. Currently I try to do this with my coffee business. About a year ago, I visited Nepal and met a coffee farmer. Since I've returned home, I import his coffee and roast it for the people of Amsterdam. The farmer receives from us about 4 times the worldprice of coffee and in return he delivers superb organic coffee beans; this is our sustainability. Last but not least, I read a lot of books.
