About Me

i'm a 30 year old tall typical dutch guy. 3 years ago I quited my job to travel the world and see a whole lot of it. I went to Africa (Tanzania+Kenya+Uganda) and I fell in love with the continent and spend almost 1,5 years there (in total - on and off). Last summer I was happy to be at home and enjoy my friends and families company. I'm also a big fan of the dutch festivals but when summer left I wanted to travel more and went to Egypt (1 month), Sri Lanka (1 month), India (2 months) and nog Hongkong+China for 3 months! Next step after China: transsibirie express back to Russia and hitchhike back to Amsterdam!!

I'm open minded and easy going. I like to laugh, party and fool around. But I'm really enjoying meaningful, in depth conversations or subjects that open my mind even more for new ideas or food for thought.

I'm Vlogging my way through my travels to have a cool record of what I've done. You can follow me on my facebook page/Instagram/youtube channel:

I'm willing to do and/or help anywhere I can. I don't ask for much and I respect others privacy and property. I'll try to be the perfect roommate!
