CURRENT MISSION
Between starting up my own business in handyman stuff, design and furniture I hope to do some micro travels trough the year in Europe!

ABOUT ME
I'am a friendly, carrying person and like to get to know new people.
I'm interested in many persons with different backgrounds and very curious about almost everything in the world. Sometimes I like to join a party or dancing and other moments just watching movies, relaxing in the couch and having good conversations.

PHILOSOPHY
The most important thing is to be happy as much as I can.
Create your own world and your own happiness around you.
To achieve that I try to go forward and not stand still, discover my own boundaries and break them. Enjoy life!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Sitting for two hours just enjoying the beautiful view and listening the apocalyptic sounds of the avalanches km's away in the glacier valley of Marion Lake (New Zealand)
And watching the nightsky with a snowcovered vulcano lightened by the full moon as a backround.
Walked 64km's with an 18kg backpack trough the mountains in 1,5 day. Hated myself at that moment. But felt great when I made it to the end.

Teach, Learn, Share

Things I know quite some stuff about is construction, technique, cars, bicycles, survival, nature and forests, I can teach basics. Other things I love is food, cooking etc.
But sharing stories and just having a good time all together is the main thing for me.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Fine cooking, diners, wine and special beers, movies, music, jiujitsu self defense basics, knowledge about survival and bushcraft if you're interested, just everyday life stories, culture, handyman techniques and repairing stuff, the local history where I live. And show you the Netherlands from inside perspective, not as a tourist!
