About Me

CURRENT MISSION

South

ABOUT ME

I'm a very independent and open minded person who's always in for laugh. Moved out when I was 17 and been on the move ever since.

Studied to be a sport teacher, started of with teaching little kids and after that specialized myself in climbing and starting a business in the outdoors. At the moment I work in the summers in the USA as a climbing instructor and in the winter as a ski instructor in Austria. In between the two season I try to travel as much as possible.

Grew up in a small city in the south west of Holland called Middelburg. Very flat windy and cold there...
Always busy, planning new stuff but also very laid back and always in for a laugh. Love having a drink, a camp fire or just getting lost in a place that I don't know.

PHILOSOPHY

Enjoying the simple things
