ABOUT ME
'They say that I'm a dreamer, but I'm not the only one'. Some say that I'm a clown, some say that I'm a very calm person. I think the truth lies midway!
As an theatre director I'd like to search for the absurdism in daily life and love to have much music in my performances. Therefore I'd like to meet many people to share ideas about music, theatre but more importantly about lifestyles, habits and many more. (For example: What do you do on your sandwich in the morning? ;-))
PHILOSOPHY
Courage is what it takes to stand up and speak; courage is also what it takes to sit down and listen.
- Winston Churchill
Choose your enemies carefully âcos they will define you
Make them interesting âcos in some ways they will mind you
They're not there in the beginning but when your story ends
Gonna last with you longer than your friend
- U2

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Interests
I love to listen to different kinds of music and of course I often go to the theatre. From Coldplay to Queens Of The Stone Age, from Muse to Glen Hansard or dutch bands like Bløf, Racoon, Kyteman and Spinvis. In theatre I like absurdism (in Holland: 'Alex van Warmerdam' or more famous: 'Waiting For Godoth') but also more political theatre (Bertolt Brecht for example). But always with a good sense of humour.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
Two years ago I made a beautiful journey to the USA, I visited New York, Washington and Florida. A few years before that, I made a trip to Kenya, and the things I've seen there and the people I met I will never forget.
Teach, Learn, Share
I want to learn about other people's lives and see how it is different or very similar. About their humour, music, politics and way of seeing things. I can talk hours about dutch politics, music or theatre and like to share it!
