A friend once told me I'm a lot more goofy than expected. I'm rather introverted but not socially awkward. I'm interested in nice, intelligent, happy people and like spending my time in togetherness. Together with me you can enjoy some awesome comfortable silences and equally pleasant conversations. The Dutch culture inevitably has defined me as blunt and open-minded. I'm rather naive so get ready to pull a lot of jokes on me!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To host and get hosted. To meet new people. To visit new places and really be there.

To get to know a new place through the people who define it.

Music: Waldeck, Racoon, Zaz, Mozart, Vivaldi, Stevie Wonder

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Organized a dinner in the dark for 100 guests, from scratch, for charity. It was challenging, a great collaboration and loads of fun.

Teach, Learn, Share

When life gives you lemons, say fuck those lemons and bail.
