About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Learning more languages

ABOUT ME

In general im wandering around, in the city, or anywhere else. As being used to the overstuctured self-loving Dutch society, I love to kick against it and let things loose. I'm not into having a career but i do like change and being useful. I finished my masters in Urban Geography and am a geographer for life, though i usually work as a Dutch teacher. Apart from that i eat my time by eating, activism, queer stuff, collecting food/garbage and wandering around. One of biggest founds in my life is hitchhiking, i hitched from amsterdam to istanbul 6 times now and I am still not done with it.

PHILOSOPHY

no pretentions & enjoying laziness.

Teach, Learn, Share

I'll try to show how to eat the city and how nice it can be to be eaten by it. I have a lot of experience with hitchhiking, squatting, playing samba and dumpsterdiving. And im a relativist and partylover. I love to learn how to record some bits of life, languages & crafts.
