CURRENT MISSION

My mission is to get those cars out of people's heads. If you cannot do it by bike or by foot, then you probably shouldn't.

ABOUT ME

Somewhere in the early 2000s I moved to Amsterdam in search of a better life. I met some people living in squats and I moved in with them. It was a world with lots of poverty and aggression, but also very honest and caring. Was this the 'better life' I was looking for? Yes it was! It tought me materialism and money aren't worth fighting for, but emotions and ideals definitely are. I now refer to that time as 'my second education' as it made me who I am today. I try to do good wherever possible and prefer to share and give instead of taking.

Now after years of trying to fit in the box society reserved for me I came to the conclusion it is never going to fit and quit my rent, strapped my backpack with the bare necessities to my bicycle and rode away into the horizon. For the first time I feel at home. A place to pitch my tarp, a refil of my water bottle and some food at the end of the day are all my worries, freeing the rest of my time to enjoy life, see the world the way we're meant to and interact with whoever I meet, sharing stories, food and goodtimes.

PHILOSOPHY
