For me life is about facing the other and embracing diversity. I’m a Dutch philosopher living in Rotterdam and Greece (Crete). I love meeting people from different cultures and listening to their stories and opinions while sharing food in a Rotterdam eatery or Cretan taverna.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing
