CURRENT MISSION

To enjoy life to the fullest! :-)

ABOUT ME

I'm a 33-year old university teacher living in Rotterdam, by some referred to as rocket scientist ;-) I am open to a lot of things and very keen to learn new things :-) Born and raised in the Netherlands I studied in the small city of Delft, obtained my PhD there as well and then lived and worked in Germany for two years for a big car manufacturer, known for its star. Then I moved back to the Netherlands to work for a small company in Rotterdam. Now I am back at TU Delft teaching, whilst still living in Rotterdam. I am really fond of the city I live in and enjoy to show it couchsurfers :-)

PHILOSOPHY

If you put your mind to it you can accomplish anything!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I am always happy to host and provide a typical Dutch breakfast in the morning, cheese and chocolate sprinkles included. If I have have the time, I am more than happy to show you around in Rotterdam, or more of the Netherlands, too, if my schedule permits

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I first heard about CS in 2005. I was interested but apparently not enough. A very good friend persuaded me to take the plunge and now I have a few years experience.
