About Me

I'm one of those lucky people who made their hobbies into jobs. I absolutely love playing board-games, so I've become a board game designer at a small company called Identity Games in Rotterdam. I love making music, so I became a freelance Singer-Songwriter. I have other hobbies left I haven't (yet) converted into jobs. I love to read fantasy books (most of all the ones written by Brandon Sanderson), I love to perform with my band, to watch movies and series (would be amazing to get paid for that), and love to hang out with friends and meet new people. I'm quite an extrovert, although I enjoy being by myself as well; for instance, drinking a cup of coffee on a terrace, reading a nice book. I'm definitely a bit of a nerd and I'd say I'm an optimist. If I'm not, I'd definitely want to be one!
I love optimistic, enthousiastic people with a lot of humor! I've your one of those, definitely drop by!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I hiked around Europe as a street perfomer, seeing if I could support myself on my travels.
