About me

My name is Eric Claeren and I am a Veldhoven local.

Things I love!

I love movies

I really watch quite a lot of movies and series, especially if they are able to captivate or suprise me with a good storyline.

Recently watched movies that made an impression; Rental Family, Perfect day

Recently watched series that made an impression; Normal people, The Night Manager, Succession, The White Lotus.

I love music

I love to collect and create some nice playlists on Spotify. I don't have a favorite genre, currently listening a lot to movie soundtracks (Partenope, Rental Family), James Blake and Depeche mode.

I love food

I'm a vegetarian for 10+ years, I like spices and spicy.

I love reading

Usually love to read informative books, one of the best recent books I've read was Unreasonable hospitality by Will Guidera. Just started reading; Theo of Golden

Some hobbies

Lock picking

I love to solve puzzles, and found that picking locks is just like that, and in case I ever lose a key, hopefully this hobby will come in handy. Still have to practise a lot! This is a freshly acquired hobby.

Coffee

During covid I felt the need to step-up my coffee game, being unable to attend the office and had some extra time on hands, so decided to dive full into the world of coffee, educated myself by reading and watching hundreds of YouTube videos, experiment with different beans and ways of brewing.

Woodworking

I love to be creative and come up with my own designs and build things I can practically use in and around my home. Some projects are a bug hotel, workbench and some decorative improvements in my home. I use power- and hand tools to achieve my goals.
