Openminded, cosmopolitan, interested in potentially everything (challenge me ;-)), stoic by heart appreciating the simple things in life.

LOVE traveling for extensive periods of time and be completely off the radar without phone mingling with locals. Just came back from 5 months of South America. Currently planning a 6 months trip in India which is going to be wild!

Big on sports (challenges) like mountain treks, endurance training, obstacle runs, cold exposure, skiing, mountainbiking, boxing, tennis, padel, pong, gym, yoga, I mean... is there any sport that's not fun? 8-)

Biking through Amsterdam is by far my favorite thing in life. Working on my photography skills these days with my Nikon D750. Such a babe.

I love meeting internationals in Amsterdam to 'travel in my hometown'. Let's grab a coffee and a bike. I'll show you around and practise my English (C2) and preferrably Spanish (B2) on the go. And if you're cool, I might host a dinner and introduce you to my awesome friends :-)

I work as a Management Consultant at one of the advisory firms in Amsterdam.
