About Me
CURRENT MISSION
Finding rest in doing everything
ABOUT ME
Well, I guess I'm a busy bee most of the days, working, sporting, listening music and travelling if possible. Most important for me are my friends, so I do spent a lot of time trying to keep them close.
I am a freelance project manager mostly working for social entreprices. My last job was to set up an accelerator for startups in the the sustainable building industry.
PHILOSOPHY
Uhm, well, i try to live like my heros: Pippi Långstrump, Gaston Lagaffe, Amelie, and some more that don't pop up right now.
The most important thing: don't take yourself to seriously.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
Because traveling is not about taking the pictures the thousands before you have taken. It's about gathering stories and going on adventures with strangers. And to me couchsurfing is a wonderful way to do so.

Just be curious and open, and don't take "because that's just how it has always been" for an answer.
