###### JAN 2023:

I just got back to my home territory , Rotterdam.
I lived in Spain, Scotland and Brazil

Have been travelling and working non-stop a couple of years. Now trying to get used with normal routined life again..

Somewhere 2020
Started my life in a small sea town close to Rotterdam. After my study there I worked self employed for a while. Then I started to travel, first Spain where I lived 3 years and after I lived 2 years in Scotland.

I'm currently in a new software startup. We creating a software application to administer cargo loads of gas tanker vessels.

Sept 2018
Now I am on my way to Tenerife on my motorcycle. I'll ride it just a couple of hours a week and on weekdays I work on 2 projects

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
Tons of lovely stories... I can only summarise a few:

* Hosting hundreds of people in Rotterdam, Barcelona and Edinburgh. And every time you host you learn a little bit more...

* One big road and couch surfing trip, 132 days in a row. 45 different hosts, 25 cities in Belgium, France, Portugal and mailnly Spain. I raised working from home to the new level: While I was Couch surfing I maintained my regular programming job remotely.

* Once I was hosted by a lovely strong believed group of mulsim guys in Bordeaux. I asked to join them at the prayer service. I felt really welcome being there and it was an experience not to forget. Two weeks afterwards I was hosted by a girl in Lisbon. That Saturday night we went to a gay club. I felt very welcome there is well. I think it is great how couch surfing merges this stories in some kind of way.

* 3 month spring trip to Miami, Colombia (Medellin, Bogota) and I lived 1 month in Rio de Janeiro.

* Many weekend trips to towns by couch surfing gave me the local perspective.

BUCKET LIST
* Latin america trip (100% done)
* Rio Carnaval. Done
* Learn to kite-surf well (80% done)
