CURRENT MISSION

Dance a lot, create and eat the good stuff

ABOUT ME

I'm an entrepreneur with attention surplus disorder. I basically love my town and dancing on the sidewalk.

I work on a lot of projects, which is fun, but also dangerous, as they can distract from eachother. The biggest thing I'm working on now is the escape room and mystery experience company sherlocked.nl, and in second place there's my other endeavor uncovermac.com (we carve into MacBooks for a living)

On a sad note.. most of the bikes I've owned have been stolen, and by now it's really starting to be a bummer. But no matter how many they steal, we shall buy another and love it like we've never been hurt :)

!! Update !!
the most magical thing: in a city of litterally 800.000 bikes, I saw someone riding my stolen precious, went into high speed pursuit and reclaimed it :-)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'd love to host creative and fun people every now and then. My apartment's quite centrally located and I enjoy showing people around, when I'm not busy (which, come to think of it, I often am -but with fun things, so no worries.) I've got a spectacularly comfy couch, so comfortable that I usually make the guests stay in the bedroom.

I've hosted quite a few great people since january 2008, and one day I'll fly away to surf the world's sofas myself

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I remember climbing a very high tree on a hillside overlooking Kyoto. Roaring wow.

I also had my first kiss under the full moon in a snowy forrest with the girl I first met by climbing a house that turned out to be hers.

And lastly, I met a man in Tokyo, who could levitate small objects without touching them.

Teach, Learn, Share

Climbing rooftops is easier than you think. It's also one of the most exciting things in the world.
Start with big buildings but from the inside: take the stairs to the top floor and look for openable windows or even a hatch that goes to the roof. The next step would be climbing a scaffolding and then exploring the nearby roofs. The true roof climb would then be to scale the outside of a 2, 3-story building (or even more, for the daredevils) from the outside, using the ledges and decorations as grips.
First practice on climbing walls and never take a risk you don't feel secure about. That just means you haven't trained enough. The thrill and liberation is worth the world, but no thrill is worth your life.
Have fun!
