ABOUT ME

I'm mark, a young dutch guy who is openminded and i like to experience new things, broaden my borders and enjoy life in general. I'm a research master psychology student with a side job and too many hobbies like climbing, bouldering, windsurfing, cycling, running and more. Next to that i have a little vegetable garden. In other words im a busy person - :( - and cant always host people or show them around. However, i love travelling and letting other people travel on a shoe-string. Hitchhiking and CS all the way!

Music, Movies, and Books

I love books, music and movies. My girlfriend calls me (not without reason) a bookworm. I devour them. Hence, I cant even name 1 out of every 10 books i have read but you are welcome to have a look at my small but well-stocked library and borrow whatever fascinates you!
