CURRENT MISSION

Upgrade my guest room to make surfers laugh at the Hilton ;)

ABOUT ME

I'm a friendly, straightforward guy that likes to discover new thoughts and perspectives from all sorts of different people. I enjoy a pseudo-philosophical conversation, especially after a beer or two.
I play the guitar with which I also use my voice sometimes and if the Dutch weather is up for it, I like to ride my motorcycle, go kitesurfing or find any other fun active thing to do.
An evening playing cards or shooting pool with (new) friends is always fine and if you just found a small time concert with blues/jazz/rockabilly or whatever, count me in!

PHILOSOPHY

Don't do the things that are considered normal. Do the things that make sense to you. Even if they don't seem to make sense to others.
