Currently traveling... so sorry for not accepting guests... x!

Im Sander, born and raised in The Hague , The Netherlands (1986). Drop by and I show you around the city, and maybe we'll play some music :)

At the moment I am building a skelter (four wheeled bike) on solar energy, and playing in the theatre, with my theatre group "De Tovenaars" (The Magicians).
Before I played for 5 years in the rock&roll band `Vuigtuig` (which means literally something like 'filthy scum' lol) playing chords & accordeon.

Besides music, I work as a tour leader, traveling mainly to Russia, Mongolia and China. Why there? Well, in 2013 I lived in Xiamen (China), working on the beach with a small company doing water sport activities, and before that during my studies I did my internship in Ulaanbaatar (Mongolia).

Some basic slavic language skills also proved to be helpfull on the way, those I learned during my voluntary work from 2005-2007 at 'WijHelpenDaar' a student organisation from Holland who takes care of the subordinated groups in former Yugoslavia.

When I returned from Mongolia I applied for youth ambassadorship, and gained one year of Youth Ambassadorship experience in The Hague; giving advice to several institutes (of the government disctrict) and ngo's in the same workfield.
