About Me

*don't forget to look at the part called Steven's home as there is something standing there that you need to read*
**I normally don't do last-minute hosting**
***it's normal I don't 'reply' if you don't do an effort***

I like a good drink.
I like a good laugh, going out, nice company and good food.
Storytelling about what I have seen and listening to stories of others
Also, I like to do some things I normally wouldn't do.

PHILOSOPHY

There's a million ways to see the things in life
a million ways to be the fool (I want out - Helloween)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

no clue, I seem to forget about all the amazing things I have done

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach a few words Dutch to my hosts and guests.
Dunno how that would help.
