CURRENT MISSION

I know not where I am going for the ocean will decide, it's not the destination, it's the glory of the ride

PHILOSOPHY

Embrace life, live with a vengeance and most of all: live now! The future is a highly overrated concept! Or as John Lennon puts it in one of his songs: "life is what happens when you are busy making other plans"

Teach, Learn, Share

I love languages... Dutch is my mother tongue and I studied English, Spanish, French and Portuguese. I am always willing to share this knowledge with my couchsurfers and it would be nice if they could pass some of their language knowledge on to me.
