Overview
About Me
Outgoing, entrepreneurial guy from the Netherlands. My work brings me often to Southern Africa where I develop projects. My main focus is solar power. Love to (slow)cook, braai (South African BBQ) drink good wine or beer and socialize.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
Hostels are crowded, hotels are dull, Airbnb is filled with people who just want to make a buck... Couchsurfing seems to be left as the best place to really meet nice people!
Interests
Highly interested in international politics, economics and renewable energy. Also very interested in blockchain technology and decentralization. Love Africa for its nature and people.

Music, Movies, and Books
Diverse. From the Stones to Tiësto to Debussy to Little Big Town to Robin Schulz and everything in between. As long as it has soul and it fits the mood.
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
Cliff diving in the Caribbean
