CURRENT MISSION

Making human powered journeys. Mostly on the bicycle.

ABOUT ME

Im 32 years old now, and i live in a ex-squatted hospital in groningen, called the ORKZ. During the weekends i like to go out to a concert or with my friends hanging around, sometimes in the forest with a fire and a beer. Further i was going to school as a graphic designer. After this I studied popculture, but found out my passion is in traveling. Right now I try to earn my money with traveling. Giving lectures at school, workshops, organizing film festivals based on travel and of course go on adventures!

A small collection of the journeys I did:
- Cycling from Budapest to my hometown in the Netherlands
- cycling from Moscow to St Petersburg
- Rollerblading the entire Netherlands in winter
- Trying to rollerblade from Southwest England to Northeast Scotland
- Walking the Ambleve river in Belgium in four days
- Walking the souss river in morocco

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Hangin out in sweden with my host. We made a hut out of snow and sat there in the night drinking, smoking and roasting meat above the small fire we had. After 4 hours we had to leave since we almost froze untill our bones, because it was -18C outside!

A trip trough bulgaria, and lived there for a month in a small village.

Bought a bike for 30 Euros, and biked 900 Km in 18 days with it. Then sold it to a guy in a wheelchair...

Hitchhiking with a friend, not knowing where to go but we had the most beautiful experiences. Met so many nice people, slept 4 days in a tipi at shamans place and lost track of time

Biking from Hungary to Holland, in 6 weeks. With a second hand courier bike.
