About Me

CURRENT MISSION

I LOVE live! Make the best of everyday and do everything on purpose!

ABOUT ME

I'm a fun guy, very active, sporty, I love live. I'm usually very busy, and can't keep still. I work out a lot, play rugby, cycle, and love to travel.
I'm interested in discovering new music, like photography and good movies (very subjective, of course).
I like different cultures. Always enjoy a good laugh and like to be amazed. I'm very inquisitive and meeting new people is one of my biggest hobbies.

I like partying. I know the Amsterdam party scene quite well, I love to have beers with friends. Oh and people call me a superconnector - I will introduce everyone to everyone else. :)

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I'm new to couch surfing. I was introduced to it by friends, who are very positive about it. So - why not give it a try? I've met quite a few people who were couch surfing, or were hosts at home. And since these people were all so friendly and interesting, there's really no reason for us not to try out couch surfing ourselves.

Music, Movies, and Books

Movies: I'm a Quentin Tarantino fan. Favorite actor: Jake Gyllenhaal (not sure if that's just for the looks.. :))
Music: My taste is quite broad. Anything from jazz to techno. Discovering Indie bands in the local concert hall, to ear-pounding techno in dark Berlin clubs.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

In my spare time I'm busy running a smal charity. A couple of years ago, a very good friend of mine asked me to join a cause: building a rescue center for girls and women in Kenya. I really wanted to help, and today we finished the rescue center. It provides shelter to the most vulnerable in the Kenyan society, provides education to orphans and it counsels mothers that decide against Female Circumsision. We visited the project a couple of years ago, and it was really great to see how much a little effort means to peoples lives. In that spirit we're continuing our charity...
