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.
