CURRENT MISSION

Don't wait and search, but go and find

ABOUT ME

I'm a sponge, silently absorbing everything around me. I've had a wonderful time in Brussels (really magnificent city), where I've met a lot of people that had a big impact on me (a big thanks for that!) now I feel that it's time to reinvent myself and search for a meaningful occupation that matters! At this very moment I'm hiking from Brussels to Cairo (around the Mediterranean via Turkey, Syria, Libanon and Jordan thus).

PHILOSOPHY

Make your choices yourself, don't just let others decide. You can make the difference!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

The moments without squatters or couchsurfers in my house have become seldom. (http://www.couchsurfing.org/mapsurf.html?SEARCH[skip]=5&view=detail&sid=9fdfd3ba3be3cf32e97b39333dda83d7)

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Couchsurfers have brought me plenty good chats, good meals and long nights. No need for spectacle, only good moments.

Music (post-rock, jazz, blues), theatre, books (sceptics, environmentalists, fiction), poetry, society, languages, cooking (vegi), sports (waterpolo) and the media (humor).

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

While protesting against a building project, we came-up with a park as an alternative, which gained popular suppote and is now about to be finished. So, you can make the difference (although you'd better stay humble in the meanwhile).

Teach, Learn, Share

I worked as a sustainability advisor in city design, so I could tell you all about that. I'm native Dutch speaker and have a profound knowledge of English and French, you could also chat with me in Spanish. And if you really want to waste your time with me, start about football.
