My two kids studying and just working.. Literature. Music. Theatre. Rock & Folk. The 70's. Traveling. My friends. The open air. Human rights. A world without violence. Contemporary cultural & social theories.

My two cats. A quiet evening with a book in my hand and one of my cats or both of them on my chest give me a heart-massage. Writing. To talk to you and listen if you feel what I'm and all writers are wrriting about. To talk to you and let you inspire me and many people. A red wine - just one glass and yet anothter half... Sleeping, eating and sports as a basis.

To work and strive in companies every now and then. Irony. Self-irony. The sea. Japanese literature. The woods. Márquez. The mountains. Celine. The plains and its skies above. Hans Fallada. Van Morrison. Witney Houston. Playing soccer with friends. Running. Tarvkovski. Oranje juice in the morning. Integrity. Honesty. Truth and God, who do not exist but I do believe in...
Peace and love for all beings, for you and for me.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To meet you. I like to share a pleasant stay with you with plenty of privacy for the both of us and a little mutual enrichment in humaness by talking to each other.

I've got a nice big house at the "gracht" (canal) of an old Dutch medieval town nearby its city. First of all & to be straight: If you (woman) are a golddigger, please do not contact me. If you (man) don't have the social skills to talk with one another for for instance a fine half hour and you are only topping in a cultural scene, don't come either.

With this platform I just want to help you. Enjoy some repriprocal contact. And I hope you want to help me one day or another. So I don't necessarily need you to be relationship-, experience- or culture-greedy, if you know what I mean. Shyness can be super. Just rely on a good stay and be modest to meet me faithfully some moments. And I'll be responsable for some real communications with you.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Upbringing my kids is amazing enough for you? Loving my wife deeply in a free and tight living apart together situation... And really have some simple easily inspiring moments with you, with other humans, with my animals or just myself, is already quite extraordinary?

What I Can Share with Hosts

I like to spread more humaneness, tolerance and understanding in the world, and just help myself and other people have a mutual motivating and good time.
