I am Gideon Gauss van Dijk. I'm an Art Director living and working in Amsterdam and this is my 5th Reddit Secret Santa.
I'm 25 years old. I don't like getting my picture taken so I don't really have a lot of them but here's what I could find. I have two brothers a lovely mom and I share a great apartment with a friend of mine. I don't drink or smoke and I strongly believe in Organic products. I'm no hippy or environmentalist but I try to think about what I use and waste. Pretty boring all in all.
There are so many things I like, and some I dislike. I like movies and music. I like people but not too many. I hate giving directions when I know I'm going the same way. I hate opening garbage bags. I always make silly faces. I like taking pictures of people without them noticing. I like my guitar though I'm not very good at playing it. Today I went to ikea and spilled a paper cup filled with coffee all over myself, I was not embarrassed. Other people were, I like that. I like making stories. I don't mind getting lost. I don't mind being found. It's the Chinese thing, catastrophe equals opportunity?! But I suppose when you meet someone for the first time you want to talk about the basics so I made some lists of things I enjoy a lot. They are probably not that accurate since most mornings I mistake my juicer for a time-machine.
