About Me

CURRENT MISSION

to create a better world and have tons of fun while doing that.

ABOUT ME

I'm a human of the male persuasion, living in the south of the Netherlands. I work for a organisation called Loesje. she's a girl who wants to create a better world, and she does that by asking questions that tickle your brain, by shouting ideas that make you want to jump into action and provoking thoughts that make you wanna grab the world and shake it. She puts them on paper and those papers stick. To walls, garbagebins, and whatever space that needs a nice opinion.
Furthermore, i believe in Anarchy, and that all states and governments should be abolished.
And there's probably shitloads more to tell, like that my favourite drink is Beerenburg, elfs suck, but dwarfs are awesome, that there is no better joke than the plattypuss and trains are absolutly awesome.
And if you want to know more, than you just have to pop by.

PHILOSOPHY

Anarchist, Atheist but also a believer in Eris.
The world is a place to make fun in and on, and life is there to be enjoyed to the fullest.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I dont know.
The last one was a snowscooter trip in Sweden. That was awesome. But also being on a beach at sunrise, near a camp fire, just sitting and watching after a good night of party.
EVS in Finland.
Loesje summercamps.
Meeting cool people, sometimes for life, and sometimes just for a night.
Midsummer in Finland.
I just can't highlight, there are so many.

Teach, Learn, Share

I know about pirates, politics and i enjoy a good discussion about a wide range of topics. I know how to write, how to give workshops in creative textwriting. I have some experience in cooking for large groups, without the use of meat and stuff like that which i can share.
