1. Coffee or tea?

Tea.

2. Streaming service or TV?

Streaming. And what do you watch? Series, such as Suits. But if I want a good laugh, I watch The Office or Brooklyn 99.

3. Beach vacation or active vacation?

I’m more of a beach vacation person. And where do you like to go? With the kids, I find the Canary Islands very convenient. Nice resort, all-inclusive, preferably close to the beach, but a swimming pool is also fine. And as for an active vacation… well, my world has changed now, but my wife and I traveled through Indonesia for a month, which I also really enjoyed.

4. Morning person or night owl?

Both, I go to bed late and wake up early. If I sleep more than 6 hours, I’m yawning all day.

5. Cooking or dining out?

Dining out. Do you have a favorite cuisine? I like Rodeo (Tilburg), just good meat. And I also like Havanna in Tilburg, that’s our restaurant.

6. Exercising or lounging on the couch?

…pauses for a moment… I’m more of a couch lounger. I don’t want to be, but it’s just really nice.

7. Wine or beer?

Neither. I usually drink whisky and Bacardi. But I’ll have a glass of wine during a dinner.

8 .Cycling or walking?

Walking.

9. Dog or cat?

Dog.

10. Breakfast or dinner?

Dinner. What do you like to eat the most? On one hand, I enjoy going out for a nice dinner. But if they were to come up with some kind of shake tomorrow that you can drink and contains everything you need, I’d be fine with that too.
