BEFORE YOU SEND ME A REQUEST PLEASE READ BELOW.

1. Please show you did read my profile in your request and have a facepic without glasses even if new to CS.

2. I will ONLY accept surfers that will join my nudist lifestyle. This condition is non-discussable ;-) Naked people pass borders and conversations gets so much nicer and in depth.

3. Smoking on the balcony. Drugs not allowed however a 420 every now and then is cool.

ABOUT ME

Hi, my name is Ad. Dutch but live in London since 2015.

Wonder where my name comes from? Have a look below ;-)

Ad \ ad\ as a boy's name is a variant of Adam (Hebrew), Addison (Old English), Adlai (Hebrew) and Adolph (Old German), and the meaning of Ad is "earth; son of Adam; God is just; noble, majestic wolf".

PHILOSOPHY

Experience all things and keep the good ones in mind.

Live the moment!

Interests

When I don't work I like to make time to meet new people or friends, go out for dinner, a beer, exhibition, museum or art movie.
I like to read in bed, surf the internet, watch tv, go to the gym and like swimming. Enjoy my area or discovering other areas in the city.

I like to exchange a massage or give you 1. I do not offer but you can ask for it.

A longer weekend I celebrate mostly in other cities in Europe. Have seen most of the bigger cities but still missing the Scandinavian countries (only Sweden in 2019) and Luxembourg.

For business I traveled China, Hong Kong, Pakistan Bangladesh, Myanmar, Vietnam, Turkey, India, Macedonia, Bulgaria, Romania, Tunisia, Portugal, Ukraine and Italy.

Music, Movies, and Books

Alan Hollinghurst is my favorite writer;

My favorite Dutch artist is Gerard Boersma and I am the happy owner of 1 of his pieces;

Also I own a piece of Manon Leeflang

But hey isn't live to find out new things?

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Fly a lot for work, like to explore Europe in my own free time.
Best memories are flying above the Grand Canyon and walking all the way down to the river.
Best experience in Europe (and most scary) was joining gay pride in Warsaw 2010.

Together with open minded people with a true spirit.
