About Me

NOT "open minded"

Currently living in Poreč, Croatia where I have my own company. The reason why it says I live in Belgrade is because then I don't have to pay for this app.

I travel a lot between Poreč in Istria and Belgrade in Serbia.
It would be wonderful to meet up in Istria for outdoor activities like hiking, scuba diving, camping 😎

For work I am the road a lot, mostly alone, and I am mainly searching here company for a drink or for a meal, just not to sit alone.

Dutchman living in Belgrade for 15+ years, a calm but no-nonsense guy who enjoys travelling and seeing new places and things, meeting new people, live going into nature every weekend. Former military, current Scuba diving instructor.
I am not on Facebook, not on Twitter, not on Instagram. I am old school and prefer face-to-face.

"If you're not living on the edge, you're taking up too much space"

Plan for 2024; travel by car from Belgrade to Moscow (and beyond...?)
Any tips on the route are more than welcome, including CS'ers with whom I can stay for a some days :-)
