About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Make fun, think happy thoughts!

ABOUT ME

Some things friends say about me:

Great guy! I would rust him with my beer in a bar, with my dog in the park or with the key to my house! Elaine.

Mikey has been a friend of ours for some years now, he is very pleasant to have around since he has a great energy and friendly approach to anyone standing in front of him. He is a great socializer and can chat(!) but also is a fantastic listener, it's the type of guy that will even lend you a shoulder when needed. Knows all the inns and outs to good Amsterdam nightlife. What else... oh yeah: Mike is always very well dressed! So can give you tips on were to shop for vintage and more. He is the eldest brother of two good friends, his siblings/friends Kim and Dennie. It's wonderful to witness their chemistry. We are truly blessed to have them as our close friends. For sure you will be in good hands when you stay at Mike's and enjoy our hometown Amsterdam to the fullest and like a local! Stacey & Jason.

PHILOSOPHY

Think happy thoughts
Imagination is more important than knowledge
Live life every second of the day
