About Me

Me, me, me...
Sometimes I wonder if I have more interest than there is things to do. If it sounds cool to me, I'm up for it. Tinkerer by nature. Pass me a roll 'o ducttape and I'll build you an aeroplane. But only if others hum the A-Team theme along my side.

Always looking for interesting things to explore, do, or do without. Although there is a general dislike from my side of the story for convincing you to like my characteristics, I'll just suck it up and continue the mindless banther.

In general you could describe me as a nice guy who likes to solve a riddle from time to time, but in reality I like to challenge anything that crosses my path and tickles my interests.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'd like to learn how to surf on other things than a board.

Interests

Let's see how far I can get with this;
I started out as a little brat who decided Gyro Gearloose was his ultimate idol.
So naturally I started to take things apart. Either controlled or uncontrolled. Don't freak out when I show up with random screwdrivers. It's just in case I find something worthy of my quest of engineering.

Nothing of the above; Started playing guitar at the age of something like 8 years ago. Picked up windsurfing in a silly mood, and the damn things stuck.

I've lived in Curaçao for the better part of a year, being a tour guide & windsurfing instructor. My guess would be that I picked up my american accent over there. Can't help it, I've been training though.

To honor the dutch roots, I love to ride around on bicycles.
To honor my own roots, I love to build them from the ground up, too.

I love forgotten landscapes, abandoned industrial areas, parties at said areas, rust, rustic lifestyle, food, booze, and the sunsets while the barbeque is still oozing.

Music, Movies, and Books

Lets expand the story about myself a little bit more!
As far as music concerned; If there is a bit of emotion or skill involved, and perhaps a pretty story; I'd always give it a try and most of the times end up impressed. As I grew up with blackmetal which was introduced to me by my brother; thoughout the years I've grown to more styles of music. I smile when I hear some of, but not limited to, the following genres; Heay metal, Everything 80'ies, Jazz, Excellent hiphop tunes (Just made that one up.), UKhouse, Disco, Techno, Tekno, Psy-anything & industrial.

The other two categories? I'm lost for words.
