About Me

As a professional guitar player I spend my days playing in two bands, teaching guitar lessons and bandcoaching and composing music for film and games.

In the time I am not doing anything with music I like to read, hang out with friends and have a beer or two. It's always good to have nice company and I am always willing to meet new people. New people often means new views on life.

If you are interested in the music I make, here is a website of one of my bands and the filmmusic I compose.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I would love to travel some more and have noticed that, while traveling, the best way to get to good places is to meet with locals. As I mentioned before I like meeting new people and this is a great opportunity to do so.

Also I would like to give people a place to stay if they want to visit the beautiful city of Utrecht and show them around there.
