About Me

I very much believe that we co-create reality with our thoughts and actions. If we believe in opportunities, we will find them. If we believe in the good nature of people, we will find the good in people. If we take care of people without expecting anything in return, we will be surrounded by better people.

I love talking about big ideas on life, recently got very much into mindfulness and the teachings of living legend Thich Nath Hanh. I wish I would have artistic skills, but that's all a dream. I enjoy writing although most of my writing has been in Dutch.

In case you're thinking it's all serious business, I also like talking bullshit and fooling around. Whatever the situation asks for it will be.

MY PHILOSOPHY
Try not to be an asshole.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I made my dad cry when I wrote him a letter telling him how an amazing dad he is. Also I once was supposed to take a flight to Prague and landed in Greece 4 hours later...
