Overview
About Me
I and my wife live and work in Amsterdam. We are looking for friends and are always happy to meet new people. We are somewhat old-school guys. :) We like classical art, theater, literature, history, etc. But if you are up for a jazz jam session, I will be happy to join on a bass.
Interests
I am a researcher and teacher in computer science and I like my job. :) I also play music (guitar and bass guitar) and sing. I like art, history, reading, dancing, walking and talking.
