Openminded, friendly and a bit of Dutch directness.
I love exploring the world, meeting people from all cultures, sharing food and stories.

I work in the creative industry (in Amsterdam) as a photographer, creative consultant and art-director.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

In 2012 I met a German girl who introduced me to couchsurfing. With a fun group we slept at the house of Dish (unfortunately I can't find him on here anymore), the friendliest Australian I've ever met. We arrived during cyclone Oswald, and left when the sun was shining. I had an amazing experience, and would like to have many more.
