About Me

Can not and will not sit still. Bundle of energy (except in the mornings), with too many interests and too little time! Jack of all traits, master of none.
Will become a very different person when hungry.
Can and will teach you Dutch swear words. Look at my "Teach, Learn, Share" for more!

Music, Movies, and Books

Music:

My dad is a metalhead by heart, so I grew up with it! I still listen to metal and my dad and I still go to concerts together. Think of bands like Bmth, Limp Bizkit, I Prevail, Linkin Park (rip).
Other than that I'm big on techno music. Underground, high energy, deep bass. Drum&Bass is my other love. Minimal and neurofunk to headbang my head off.
I also veeeery much enjoy...indie electronic music I guess it's called? I never know how to specify this type of music but think of artists like Crywolf and Eden. Beautiful lyricsm and they have the unique skill to really, REALLY channel emotion through music.

Books:

Man I really want to read more because I thoroughly enjoy it. I just never make time for it and the bums me out. I really love The Witcher series! Even have a tattoo in theme of the Witcher on my hip. Next to a good fantasy book, I love books like Surrounded by idiots, Subtle art of not giving a fuck, The fountain etc. Books about society, psychology, behaviour, patterns. I also want to learn more about it and better understand myself and others that way.

Movies:

The movie that absolutely destroyed me was Interstellar. I couldn't watch it a second time. I needed 3 years to recover before I could.
I really enjoy movies which make you think. The Platform is another movie I really enjoy and recommend!
I also really love World War 2 movies. Sobidor is a heart wrenching movie, but gives such a good perspective of the horrendous things that happend in a concentration camp.
Oh and on times when I just want to turn off my brain, I love to watch action movies like John Wick.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Staying at Elephant nature park in Chiang Mai! One of the very few true elephant rescue center in Thailand.

Teach, Learn, Share

I am very eager to learn just about anything! I love new experiences and love a challenge. Except when it has anything to do with mathematics.

When I get to teach someone about something I am passionate about, I can go on for hours.
I can teach you some dope breakdance moves and freezes to impress your friends at the next party or I can teach you some seductive heels choreography for your lover.

I can teach you the basics of DJing! It's one of my biggest passions and even though I still have to develop my skillset and learn more, I'd love to show you the beauty of mixing music.

Want me to social work you and show off my mental health specialisation skillset? I gotchu.

Acting is also one of my biggest passions. I can give you a whole workshop if you'd like and teach you some techniques to grow as an actor/actress.

I am currently in a never ending process of picking up playing guitar again. I just never keep at it. So let's jam together and be my reason to practice. Same goes for singing!
