I'm a guy who always has an idea for the next start-up. Loves running gags, and always brings his Ukulele.

I lived in a small town in The Netherlands most of my life for my studies, though I've also stayed in Montreal and Amsterdam for some months.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love meeting getting to know people all over the world with different backgrounds, hearing their different viewpoints, and getting to know their culture. And of course because it's not so heavy on the the bank account.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you some Portrait- and Astrophotography, ping pong technique, and Ukulele chords.

Of course you can also get to know some words in German and Dutch if you're into that.

I want to become an astronaut, so Russian is a language I want to learn.
