I'm born and raised on the countryside of the Netherlands in a small village, but started on a young age exploring the world . I'm an easygoing person ,open minded and you will feel soon comfortable with me.

After being a professional motorcycle racer I started studying civil managment. I'm very proud of having a successful working career in railway construction.

I came home in april from an one year trip around the world. Starting in Panama in finished in Kenya. Now it's time to save money again for my next trip
