About Adriaan

Adriaan prefers being forced out of his comfort zone with exciting topics ranging from random facts to everyday tips & tricks. Whether the topics are about his various hobbies, from playing guitar to reading classical novels, or new original ideas in science and philosophy, he gets a kick out of converting complexity into simplicity.

Within five years after finishing school, Adriaan has developed himself with numerous opportunities:

During his three-year study of Facility Management, he moved between waitering and manual labor to help pay for his studies.

After successfully completing his degree, he took a three-month vacation in Port St. Johns, where he also decided to complete a permaculture course.

With a strong work ethic and appetite for knowledge, he reached out to friends abroad, finished an advanced sales course, and sold artworks on cruise lines. 

Currently an English teacher for adults, Adriaan found his passion for education and is looking forward to developing himself in this field.

“Educating and being educated is my primary goal.”
