About me

I am a born and bred Utrechter, a rare kind in a city full of students and young professionals coming from all over the country and beyond. I work as a promotor in the music industry, but was schooled as an urban geographer specialized in the interaction between arts & culture and urban development. I used to dj around the city a lot, and threw parties in many of it's venues. Now that I have kids, I settled down a bit, but still love to immerse myself in what Utrecht has to offer.
