I live in an Ecovillage in the Netherlands. Our ecovillage is an urban environment that aspires to be sustainable in all aspects. With a group of dedicated people we are trying to build an inspiring example for a sustainable settlement. We hope to present solutions to the people of the Netherlands for how to make such a way of life possible.

I just finished a Technology Entrepreneurship program at the Technical University of Eindhoven and did a bachelor in Industrial design.

I intend to start giving workshops pretty soon and do this for a living. The website just launched. www.ecodorpworkshops.nl

Love to travel and explore new things.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Because you meet new folks, hear new stories, it's free and provides cool experiences.

About my ecovillage:
Ecovillage Boekel aims to be a unique, inspiring example for sustainable living. In Ecovillage Boekel (www.ecovillageboekel.nl), located in a small village in the Eindhoven region, we intend to cater to our needs in a sustainable fashion. By doing so, we propose solutions for climate change, environmental pollution and the exhaustion of natural resources, in close cooperation with our surroundings. The goal is to build a circular, largely self-supporting, resilient village. Especially when it comes to energy, water management, and food supply. Ecovillage Boekel will be financially supported by the sustainable enterprises
