About Me

I'm a creative person, dividing his attention to different subject. Mostly visual arts, but for a living I use my voice. I love to travel, but it's something that I've not always done. Now that my freelance job allows me to go places, I'm using every opportunity to see new places and meet people.

I am easy going and love to see how other people live their lives. I'm a good listener and like to think about life, the way we all seek meaning, differences and similarities, how to be good, love, enjoy, etc. Let's have some deep conversations about that, or make some jokes. Because life is funny, after all.

I'm always up to try new things.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

A few encounters around 5 years ago, so I guess I'm new again! Friends tell me the best things about their couchsurfing experiences, so I'd like to get back into it.

Interests

Going to concerts or see a movie, or go to the pub. I also like to cook, paint or create other things.

I love doing all sorts of sports, but am not very into watching them on TV. Show me what you like and I'll give that a try!

I meditate on a regular basis, but am not really spiritual about it.

Want to learn to play the guitar, make video games, sing and draw.

Want to travel more. Learn stuff. Meet people.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've done voice-over for some film projects, including one that was in a theatre.
I've been involved in helping starting video game companies, and seing the Dutch game scene come to life.
I travelled in time and met Darwin. Wonderful guy. Smells a bit like like old socks though.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you Dutch dishes (as far as they exist), language, and random other things. Let's discover the city together!
