Music, Movies, and Books

Music:
I like almost all types of music however my preference goes out to reggae, pop, house and R&B. At the moment I listen a lot to music such as Pete Murray, Paolo Nutini, Jason Mraz and Jack Johnson.

Hobbies
Furthermore I like to go fishing, which I haven’t done for quite a while, watching movies and just started reading books, mostly travel books explaining various experiences of travelers. Although it’s quite late to start reading books at the age of 25 but I always say it’s better late then never. Furthermore I like cooking as mentioned before, rock climbing, surfing, snowboarding, partying and I just started to become really interested in diving. A few months ago I finished my open watercourse in Thailand and can’t stop diving at the moment.

Sports:
I am an active sports person and many sports to try out. I have played tennis, beach volleyball, beach tennis, Thai Kickboxing and swimming just occasionally however I have played field soccer for about 18 years and at the moment I play in two futsal teams, one regional and one student’s team. Have done this now for about three years.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

- Water sports camp in The Netherlands, waterskiing, wake boarding etc.
- Snowboarding mostly off piste in France (Valfrejús)
- Diving in Thailand, Indonesia and Malaysia
- Internship in the Caribbean (Function Cook) So I love cooking

Teach, Learn, Share

I have a soccer trainer degree. I have taught soccer to kids from the age of 5 till 19, which was a great experience.

Countries I’ve Visited

Aruba, Belgium, France, Germany, Malaysia, Singapore, Spain

Countries I’ve Lived In

Indonesia, Netherlands, South Africa, Thailand
