I'm a poet, trainer and psychologist. A curious life explorer and an open(-minded) person who lives in the inner city of the historical city Deventer. I like to trigger people with thought-provoking questions to have a good conversation about whatever.. I'm optimistic and in for everything, especially if someone is excited for it. I read a lot, so I can show you my books and have a conversation about it, with my big tea cups (yea: 0,5 L)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I participate in Couchsurfing because you can have total difference experience of your trip compared to one from your hotel. You can step in the life of a local, not of a tourist.

I get a burst of energy when I meet someone and get into a nice conversation: meeting new people and hear about their (life)stories is fantastisc. I think sharing stories, experiences, visions and opinions will give you a better vision of the world and of yourself.

I'd love to show you the great city of Deventer and cook a nice meal.
