Hi :)

I am Frank from Amsterdam. I rented out my apartment for one year to try out the digital nomand lifestyle in my own unique way. Why unique?

I work as a public speaker which means that I am switching weeks with gigs in the Netherlands with weeks withhout gigs abroad. I speak about coping on a positive way with failure and also wrote a book about it.

When I'm in the Nethelands I'm staying with friends, family, hotels, airbnbs, hostels and couchsurfing. My ambition for this year is to add staying in a hotel in exchange for a workshop.

I like to run. Currently I'm training for Rotterdam Marathon (april 2019) and The Great Wall half marathon (may 2019).

I like entrepreneurship, business, helping other and meeting new people. My pasta bolognese is famous among my friends. Shall I cook one for you?

I did stand up comedy for 5 years and did gigs abroad as well. (Londen, Antwerpen, Rome, Dublin). I like to watch shows abroad. Other theathe is also something I like to visit when.

In July I will get my house back and if I am not extending my trip I would love to invite new peope in Amsterdam.

I love penguins.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I want more new things in my life and I'm curious to meet new people.

Interests

Running: did 3 half marathons and training for the marathon. Love the feeling of being outside and feel the freedom.

Comedy: did about 400 gigs. Some were awesome. Some terrible.

My bussines: I work as a public speaker and my goal is to inspire people to look at a postive way to failure. If you achieve that your life gets more fun and meaningfull. I did a lot of reasearch in aviation and the medicial business. To make it fun I use improv games. I love the feeling of people who come to me after a gig and tell me that I brought them an eye opener.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
