ABOUT ME

Started working recently as a tropical medicine/surgical resident in the Netherlands. Will work in a proy Africa or South America in the near future. Where? Anywhere the wind blows.

PHILOSOPHY

Better be young when you are. Boldness has genius, power and magic in it. Dare to dream.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Hosted six visitors from various countries and background several days each, whilst I was working in Gabon in a small city in the African rainforest. Enjoyed a lot having all of them over; they were all very open minded people and had interesting stories to share. What else would bring them there?

Interests

Cycling, downhill skiing. Basically most outdoor sports actually, although my personal experience in most of them, besides the ones mentioned before, is rather small. But it's never to late to change that!
