About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Meet cool new people!

ABOUT ME

I think I have rewriting this part quite often but it's so hard to find a proper way to describe oneself.

Anyway, I'm a 26 year old workoholic who spends 60 hours a week trying to be awesome and 20 hours a week studying to be even better.

I enjoy helping and teaching people, (English, Dutch, Business, Finance and Macro Economics are my specialties).

I firmly believe that it doesn't matter what you get, but it's what you give.
All-in-all I am a pretty mad outgoing guy who is always up for a drink or a new friend.

I enjoy people who are outgoing and social.

I'm an avid runner with a couple of half marathons under my belt and currently training for a full marathon.

PHILOSOPHY

It not how good you are, it's how good you want to be.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Rushed Mt. Fuji in 3.5 hours from 5th. Coming to the freezing top, exhausted, nearly with a heart attack and rediscovering my soul. This has spiritually changed me in more ways that an eternity can describe.

Teach, Learn, Share

Beware of freeloaders, staying at a couchsurfer CAN be more expensive, money wise, than a cheap hostel. What you get in return is much more than just a bed though. From my experience CS is about twice as expensive as normal traveling. However it's worth about a million times more.

Countries I’ve Visited

Austria, Belgium, Czech Republic, Denmark, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, Luxembourg, Poland, Spain, Switzerland, Tunisia, United Kingdom
