About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Travelling for an undefined period together with my girlfriend Katja. We met the 2nd of may in 2014 and quit our jobs to glo away exactly a year later. the 2nd of may 2015 we flew to jakarta and started our adventures around the world. Both travelled quite some before and thought it to be EPIC to explore more together!!

ABOUT ME

I'm a outgoing, nice guy, really enjoy a beer, some nice music and an occasional dance! Most of all the people sharing these joys is what makes life even more beautiful!

I've been a social worker for a while and mainly worked with psychiatric patients and people who suffer from an addiction. Graduated from a master in Public management. Travelled quite some but never enough!!! Best experience was on a Russian Minsk in Vietnam! Still on my bucket list: India on a motorcycle and afterwards, and then and then... no plan is the best plan!

About Katja
Ex project manager, but quit the job to travel. Love love love it!
Traveled quite a bit before, but I never get tired of it. Love to see new cultures, meet new people, experience new adventures, and enjoy the sun, the beach and my flipflops.

PHILOSOPHY

Life is what happens when you make other plans. Keeping my eyes and ears open during the travel before I know it I've arrived at another destination.
