About Me

Artist, bodypainter, and a little bit crazy. I work weekends - although this is not nessecarily a 'no' (I'll just have less time to show you around!!) your chances are better during the week :) - couch is own surface, but in a shared room. I have one flatmate, Mierelle from the Netherlands (she's even more laid back than I am - which is not easy...)

ABOUT ME

My ex-girlfriend's kids' once likened me to Hal from Malcolm in the Middle, which pretty much hits the nail on the head.

PHILOSOPHY

Hate leads to anger. Anger leads to the Dark Side. But at the Dark Side, they have cookies; and cookies mean love!
So - to go from hate to love, you have to pass through the Dark Side....

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Renovated two busses and lived in them while we drove from Denmark to India.
Saw a frozen waterfall in Romania.
Some lovely sculptures at the entrances to the cities in Iran and was blown away by the wonderful hospitality shown by the Iranians. Slept in the caves in Kapadokya in Turkey and on the roof of the bus under the stars in Belouchestan... Met a catholic family in Quetta... Escaped from a class IV intergalactic prsion ship... Eaten chicken tikka out of a banana leaf outside the Golden Temple in Amritsar and it tasted sooooo gooood.....
