About Me

I love to travel (responsibly), meet people and make friends. I enjoy cycling, coffee, photography, arts, music and dancing. I'm interested in medicine (work), our natural environment, sustainable living, politics and immigration. I don't smoke and eat mostly vegetarian. I play the guitar and sing. My favourite vegetable is aubergine. I vote green/left because I care about people. I can juggle a bit and fold an origami crane. What else? Just ask ;)

At the moment of writing (8 January 2020) I've just returned from a long distance cycling tour. I started on July 15th from Amsterdam and cycled about 5.000 km to Cyprus. At the moment I'm trying to settle back into regular life.

During my trip I had many wonderful encounters through Couchsurfing and Warmshowers, so I'd like to give back to the community.
