I’m traveling from Amsterdam to India over land. Will I meet you on the way?

I’m a 2m tall guy from the Netherlands. I really need my breakfast in the morning and I love to geek out on coffee culture. I build and play synthesizers for music and video, I am educated as a documentary director and I’m a portrait photographer. I listen to a looooot of music and will probably ask you everything about local and national music. I like to do psychedelics once in a while, makes my head organised. I’m a creative thinker and an overthinker, I’m generally so sociable that I forget that I need my me-time to recover from all these nice encounters. I’ll most probably say yes to any adventure. Let’s make pasta or thai food, and I love trying local spirits :).

PHILOSOPHY
Live and let live.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I’m making the trip of my life, and the biggest gain is meeting new people and exchanging stories. You don’t do that in hotels…

BOOM festival 2018

Teach, Learn, Share

Everything you'd like to know about camera's.
Handyman things, I’ve gotten quite a soldering master.
If you can teach me some new language or how to weld, I’d love that!

What I Can Share with Hosts

A great Dutch card game (Toepen), a portrait photo of you, silly walks, a game of Twister and hopefully a fun adventure and a good memory.
I'm a freelance smoker, so only when you smoke i'll join you.
