A boy who tries to be a man.

I'm creative with both visual and sound arts; I used to play guitar in several projects/band, making rock/alt. pop, which I still feel as an intense way to express myself and to meet new people wherever it takes me.

At the moment I'm owning a company on graphics design, and am co-owner of Studio TOIMII, an industrial product design studio based in Utrecht. Product design is about creating products with simplicity in functionality in which I like to focus on sustainability and the intuitive response between products and its user.

I think you'll find it easy to host me, for I don't need much;
I'm neat, friendly, mature and responsible, quiet if needed and easy-going, so if you want me to wake up early I don't mind (especially not when there's much to see or discover that day).
I enjoy good company, music (especially visiting concerts), art, dancing, good food and drinks; sharing the richnesses life!

I like facing adventures and taking chances, so hopefully you'll give me one..!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'd love to give you a place to sleep, eat and rest. So just contact me and we'll see what's possible. I don't necessary need to hang out, if you just need a place to crash, that's fine!

The Netherlands are pretty small, and I live 7 minutes walking from the biggest train station of the Netherlands, taking you everywhere (and to Amsterdam in 25 minutes).
