CURRENT MISSION

I am currently cycling home via the world

ABOUT ME

I am a broadly interested guy from the Netherlands who enjoys: trekking, white water kayaking, snowboarding, reading, taking fancy pictures and traveling in general. I think I am an open minded and tolerant individual who can enjoy both good conversations and parties.

Besides having lived all over the Netherlands (which is not so hard given it’s a 1 square kilometer country) I have lived and worked in Vancouver (Canada), Kristiansand (Norway), Milan (Italy), Mumbai (India) and briefly in Houston (Texas) and Munich (Germany) totalling over 6 years and I thoroughly enjoyed this.

I am currently cycling boldly into the unknown for no apparent reason and am not sure when or where this trip is going to end. I hope to meet some great people on the way!

PHILOSOPHY

It's personal.

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Surfing for now, hosting when I get back from my trip!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've not done a lot of couchsurfing yet but have been hosted by people via warmshowers.org. I love the idea to meet locals or other travelers this way!

Música, películas y libros

Pulp fiction, lock stock and two smoking barels, snatch...

Too many books, but currently I like reading history books that follow a red line during my bicycle ride around the world. Other than that I got inspired by books from Alastair Humphreys, Colin Thubron and Paul Theroux.

Algo increíble que he hecho

I'm pretty happy with the "bowstall" I did in my kayak right under the Victoria Falls in Zambia.

Enseña, aprende, comparte

Actually all people except those that are trying to convert me into something I am not.
