About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Digital Nomadism

ABOUT ME

I'm a computer hacker, a nerd, a geek. I love playing with computers, find it hard not to live an online life next to my real life.

Although I dislike fast things and tight spaces, I love to travel (airplanes though... meh) and things like diving (those wetsuits are *tight*).

I'm self-employed based in the Netherlands working in IT, I can pretty much do my work all over the globe, hurray for the Internet Age.

PHILOSOPHY

- Madness is a way of life, not just a state of mind.
- If you wait long enough, any problem, however difficult or bad will solve itself. (although possibly not in a way you would prefer)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I want to travel a lot. I traveled a little and now I want to travel a lot. So I will need places to stay, people and things to see and stories to hear. I expect to provide the same for other people in return, so, quid pro quo, I sleep on your couch, you can sleep on mine ;)

Besides surfing with friends outside of CS, I've surfed in New York, Philadelphia, Toronto and Boston

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I couch surfed before I knew about couchsurfing.com, but the website makes arranging things and checking out people so much easier :)

Stayed with some people in New York, Philly, Washington, Austin and San Francisco on a couple of trips through the US.

Interests

Computers, travelling, reading, going to the movies, good food, photography, I have to admit that I also love to discuss my personal ethics and views on religion, so, if you do too, go ahead, if you don't, don't start with me ;)

Music, Movies, and Books

Dune (the books and the movie), Arthur C. Clarke scifi, The day of the jackal (the book and the original movie with Edward Fox).

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Niagara falls are still a truly magnificent site.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you to juggle three balls. I can give you some simple Dutch lessons (not that good a teacher I'm afraid :))

Countries I’ve Visited

Belgium, Canada, Czech Republic, Egypt, France, Germany, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Luxembourg, Northern Ireland, Serbia, Spain, United Kingdom, United States

Countries I’ve Lived In

Netherlands
