CURRENT MISSION

Since Hospitalityclub their website is so slow, I decided to make myself a profile on couchsurfing as well :) So mainly my mission is to extend my network, meet people and host some more!

ABOUT ME

I think I am a pretty optimistic person; I love life, all the opportunities we have and especially people and music. I am a pretty busy person; I really like to be active all the time. I have my own recording studio in the center of Utrecht. I record a lot of different bands with a lot of different music styles. I record audio-books and I create and record music for television, movies and commercials.

I love to create and develope (new(music)) projects or other cultural events, such as concert nights or band tours etc. Besides that I am running a very interesting international recording project throughout the world called IN A CABIN WITH. Basically every 2 months I invite 1 or two Dutch musicians to travel with me to a beatiful spot somewhere in the world to write and record an album in cooperation with local musicians. We travel to Europe, Asia, USA, anywhere. It is very interesting and all our albums are downloadable for free! If you like to check it out: www.inacabinwith.com

PHILOSOPHY

Enjoy!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Well I am a pretty active member of hospitalittyclub (same kind of project) for a few years now, and I really like to have people over. we have enough space and if you are interested I can show you around or tell you more about the region.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Well like I said we already had people from all over the world because of HC: Poland, Hong Kong, Canada, Finland, U.S.A, Venezuela etc. I am hosting for about 4 years now. Some people are still very good friends and stayed longer than expected, like our friend Tara from Hong Kong who stayed here for more than a week while she was planning to stay 3 nights. We can't wait to visit her somewhere in the coming 2 years!
