About Me

First of alI I was born a farmersboy. I love nature, animals and hard working, with sense. I'm an adventurous type, doing things one's own way, not taking things for granted but willing to discuss and change my perception.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Because it's quick, easy, and you'll meet people

Interests

I often get carried away by doing more with less. But also doing and promoting efforts that have the most impact instead of following the majority rule. Automation is my means sustainability my goal. Keywords in this are preservation, recuperation and temptation. I don't do an awful lot of sport but I like mixing.

  • agriculture
  • mountain biking
  • ice skating
  • motorcycling
  • organic agriculture
  • sustainable energy
  • electric cars

Music, Movies, and Books

Amélie, La vita es bella, Norwegian wood, Royal Blood, the old Coldplay, classical concert.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

On a weekend decided to go for a winter motorbike ride for 1000km's and back again the next day. To be at work again Monday but still having done something amazing in the meanwhile.

Teach, Learn, Share

Technics, electronics, sustainability, Dutch, Physics, animal behaviour.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I'm not materialist in a sense to give presents or such. I like to put my back into something so if you have a job to be done which you hate doing let's do it together and get it over with. Also I can pay for dinner or some drinks, everyone's gotta eat and I've got something to spare since I don't have to pay for the night.

Countries I’ve Visited

Austria, Belgium, Croatia, Denmark, England, France, Germany, Italy, Luxembourg, New Zealand, Norway, Poland, Slovenia, Sweden, Switzerland, United Arab Emirates, Vatican City State
