ABOUT ME

Hello there! I'm a peaceful, optimistic guy who feels very very lucky to be able to make a living in music. I write music and develop music sound software. After writing music for film and other commercial projects for quite some years, my current plan is to focus on writing music for myself, exploring new musical terrain. I am also setting up a number of non-music related projects, including one that is all about raising awareness on various topics that I find important.

I live in an apartment in the center of the beautiful city of Utrecht, together with Isa and two dogs, Juno (a Stabyhoun) and Blestya (a Husky). I'm in an older part of town, with an awesome used-to-be water tower right in front of my house (see picture).

What more is there to tell? I am a vegetarian. I don't smoke and try to live healthy. If you decide to couchsurf with me my goal is to make you feel completely at home, relaxed and at ease. I have quite a lot of living space right now, so why not share it and meet new, interesting people along the way!

Couchsurfers with children or pets are also very welcome.

Oh... Juno is a little timid and sometimes barks at visitors entering the house. But give her 15 minutes and she'll want to climb onto your lap. :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
