Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
Travelling from Holland to Istanbul - on my bicycle.
ABOUT ME
Positive and energetic guy. I'm interested in history, arts, outdoor sports and I'm always curious in peoples stories. I like to have good conversations and I'm also quite a good laugh! I finished my BA in Marketing Communication and gave up my job to make this trip possible.
PHILOSOPHY
You get what you give.
Interests
Music! Both listening and playing. People, and the story beyond. Bicycles. Riding my racebike. Science, art, drawing people, history and weird facts.

Music, Movies, and Books
Phoenix, Foals, The Field, LCD Soundsystem, ALT-J, Oasis, White Lies, Air, Daft Punk, M83, Chemical Brothers. Old blues music, Folk songs on sunday morning.
Fight Club, Adam's Apples, Alfie, Wer früher stirbt ist länger tot, Die Hard and Transporter. Interesting weird movies like Requiem for a dream.
I'm not a big novel-reader, but once in a while I get really into it. I'm now reading Hunter S. Thompson's The Rum Diary.
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
In Holland we have a saying: Wie het kleine niet eert, is het grote niet weerd. Means: 'Who doesn't honor the small things, doesn't deserve the big ones.' I've done some big things, but for me this small thing is amazing already :)
Riding my racebike for a good after work ride in the summersun, take a short swim in the sea and taking a shower with music on loud afterwards
Teach, Learn, Share
I can tell you weird facts and historical things you probably didn't knew. I can teach marketing and communication stuff or help you out in promotional difficulties. Not to mention great drinking and card games. I can also teach you a wicked quatre main-tune on the piano!
I would love to learn some painting tricks and learn how to play better guitar. I'm easily interested if someone tells passionately about something!
