About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Recently wrote my first book and got it published! It aims to help the millennial shape their future.

ABOUT ME

I'm a straight forward kind of guy. I love to do new and challenging things. That no one will tell me what to do ;-)

Must be the fact that I own my own business and just love working on seemingly impossible projects.

PHILOSOPHY

I live life to experience as much, and as consciously, as I can.

This means that I try and stand still from time to time to enjoy the view most people call life :-)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I love to cook and I'm pretty good at it. So if you would be so kind as to let me sleep on your couch I will make dinner! Apparently my authentic Dutch pancakes are the bomb :)

So far everyone I've cooked for abroad likes my cooking, so I hope you will too!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

So far I have stayed with people in Canada, USA, Japan, South Korea, France, Belgium, Switzerland, Liechtenstein, Germany and Dubai. It's been great so far and I really love getting to know new people and cultures this way!

The moment I get back to the Netherlands I'll make sure my couch is ready to be surfed on.

Interests

I love to dance. I've been dancing latin american ballroom for more then a decade now. So give me some music, preferably some people, and let's dance!

If you've never danced any partner dances before I can give you a taste of the good life if you would like to?

Music, Movies, and Books

At the moment I read all kinds of books, watch all kinds of films and listen to all kinds of music.

All because I want to know what being open really means. So far I've figured out that I must let go of all the things I thought that were and assumptions I had on life.. Because only without assumption and a clear mind can anyone be really open.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

The moment I saw the sun come up over Mount Everest the 1st of january 2010. And every moment I experience flow on a dancefloor is amazing!

Also... My motorcycle from Utrecht (NL) to Barcelona (SP) and back. It broke my body, but it was beautiful!!

Teach, Learn, Share

Everyone who has a different view on life. Who has done different things. Anyone that can show me new things.
