ABOUT ME

I am a 30 year old Dutch guy. I love wine, food, film and music. I currently work as a sommelier in a beautiful bistro in the heart of Nijmegen. The rest of my time I spend with music, dj'ing a bit. The last 8 years of my life I lived in Amsterdam, but recently moved back to my hometown Nijmegen.

My house is situated just outside of the city centre on walking distance. I have a small spare bedroom with a single bed for you to sleep.

Trekkings through Nepal, roadtripping through Europe, living in Denmark.

Teach, Learn, Share

I started off my 'career' in video production and film making. Now I'm working as a sommelier, so we can always taste some wines. Next to that I DJ, so I can teach you to get acquainted with my mixer..
