CURRENT MISSION

Try to travel as much as possible

ABOUT ME

I know it's against literary rules to start sentences with "I".
I always feel more like partying on working days than on holidays.
I would like to be a moviestar, but the furthest I got is local theatre.
I would like to be able to live of photography or writing.
I think I have a good sense of humor, some disagree.
I would like to be able to play the guitar without having to learn it (same thing with skateboarding).
I listen more than I talk.
I am lazy by nature, and I need kicks or changes in environment to get me moving.
I speak fluently Dutch and English, quite some French and Spanish and I can explain myself in German and Portuguese.
The first words I normally learn in a new language is "hi", "bye", "thank you" and how to order a beer.
I would like to go into space.
I can sometimes have an unexplainable urge for traveling.
I don\'t eat pork, but did eat different kinds of insects.
I spend too much time behind my computer.
I sometimes try to remember how life was without cell phones.
Which music I like totally depends on my mood.
I like silence.
I haven't broken a single bone in my body.
I like too hot way more than too cold.
My favorite TV shows of all time are The Sopranos, Entourage, Breaking Bad, Weeds and Little Britain.
Mosquitoes don\'t bite me.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Walked next to a lava river on the Pacaya volcano (Guatemala)
Sold my stuff, quit my job, threw a goodbye party and left to South America for a year..
4 years later sold my stuff again and started traveling east for an unknown period.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you computer stuff, how to fix problems, how to create websites, help you on your way...
I can also teach you Dutch (if for some reason you would like to learn it) and I'm quite good with English too...and maybe even some spoken French or Spanish.
I can also teach you some basic photography tricks, how to work with light and composition, those things.
