I'm a full time tattoo artist which is my passion but I love traveling with or without my motorcycle. Meeting people and making friends from all over the world is what I love, gaining new insights in culture and thinking, see sights, nature, "making kilometers" and improving my Spanish. Combining my work and travel is my ultimate goal, which is possible but I just need to get out there :)

I've always wanted to travel but chose to improve my art first, as I was uncertain about my abilities so I stuck home. Now I am more confident and ready to see more of the world! When I am in a new place I like to hop inside a tattoo parlor and make more connections. That way I could combine both passions.

My motto would be to never stop growing. Your mind is as closed off to the outside world as you allow it to be and a person should strive to keep it open.

Music, Movies, and Books

I like reading fantasy books and have read quite a few series but haven't gotten much to it in the last couple of years. But I do love a lot of different kinds of music, from reggae to blues to psytrance to rap and to deathmetal! I love going to a concert or live music and am always looking for new music.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Crossed Europe on my motorcycle together with my best bud. Made it all the way from Holland, Belgium, Luxembourg, France, Switzerland, Liechtenstein, Austria, Northern Italy, Slovenia and Croatia and back again for a total of 4337 kilometers in just one week. It was too fast to see many of the cool sights so I intent to take things more slowly in future travels ever since.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Conversation, kindness, a critical eye in images, cleaning up after myself and help in cooking as I'm not much of a chef myself.
