About Me

CURRENT MISSION

ABOUT ME

I am travelling nearly 50% percent of the time, either for my work or on holiday. If I am at home I am among friends, in the forest near my house, swimming, or hosting you!

PHILOSOPHY

There are exactly the same amount of opportunities to find happiness as there are to be dissapointed.

This you can only influence by:
- The amount of attempts
- Your perception

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have hosted a lot of different people over the past years, but have the most precious memories to NYE in Dubai. I arrrived on December 28th alone, and half the CS NYE participants crashed in my appartment. A warm start of my Dubai days!
