ABOUT ME

Some six years ago I was 24 and I woke up. I didn't want to spend the best yeas of my life in an office! I figured that the things that I like are meeting people, talking, fishing, dancing, being in contact with nature, sailing, discovering new places, playing my guitar, laugh and much more things money cannot buy... But a lawyer doesnt do a lot of these things, at least not in the Netherlands.

I Left the Netherlands four year ago sailing the world on my small sailing ship. Sailed to Brazil via Europe, Canaries and Cape Verde. Then into the Caribbean and now Pacific. I enjoy meeting new people and discover the beautifull things in this world.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I enjoy talking, sharing, laughing, making jokes, exploring each others culture. I am easy going and ready to help around with just about anything. I like cooking together for example and quit handy with my hands to fix small things or to help organize.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Really amazing was when I was on the Atlantic ocean and lying on my back outside on my small ship. My crew slept and it was night as I looked up. I saw thousands of stars, the Milky way and the mast and sails gently moving. I heard the waves around me and the breathing sounds of the dolphins which had joined us. It felt I was actually sailing through the universe. It was one of the most amazing experiences in my life.
