Grew up in Utrecht, and have been living in Amsterdam for the past 10 years. Hence, I can tell you all about Amsterdam, or at least about my Amsterdam.

Interests are modern arts, news, music (see below), technological innovations, politics, some sports and so much more.

Currently working in The Hague, so going down there every day. Doing the Dutch "Fast Stream" program.

Been self employed in the past, working as a lecturer in a business school and being one of the three founders of a company active in innovative business models.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Next to couch surfing I also do airbnb from time to time. Both have their advantages to me. Why I also do couch surfing is because it is easier for me as well, since I do not - necessarily - need to spend 5 hours cleaning:) and I learn more about my visitors. Being very much interested in other cultures learn about this is probably the biggest reason I'm on here.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I opened a shop with a friend in Amsterdam December 2015 - the last shop - where one can buy frustration, maternal love, and self-reflection. Customer were surprised and awed by the experience. To my surprise we made multiple national headlines within 3 days, insane experience.
