1. Hello everyone,

    I am a member of U2start for about 11 months by now. I just realized I haven't introduced myself, shame on me!

    So here is my introduction, better late than never.

    My name is Jochem, I'm 20 years old and live in the beautiful city of Enschede, Netherlands. I study Forensic Science there, I'm in my second year now. My hobbies are jogging, watching sports and playing a computer game so now and then. The sports I am into are soccer, motorsports (mainly F1 and WEC) and rugby. The last one joined my list recently, RWC2015 really opened my eyes to this amazing sport.

    And then, surprisingly, there's U2. I got introduced to the band some two years ago by watching a short clip of Mike Masse, an American guy covering some famous artists. I heard One Tree Hill and was blown away. I wanted to know more about that song, the rest is history. With help of my friend Harm, also known as 'Kerstkaas' on this site, I discovered the discography of U2. And after the discography I wanted more, I went looking on the web for live shows. That's how I ended up here. Over the course of two years my collection got bigger and bigger. Not a single day went past without U2. Since I attended the I+E tour in Cologne (17-10) my love for U2 got ginormous. I'm planning on getting a bit more active on this site, hence the realization I needed to introduce myself!

    I'm looking forward to a lot of fun times on this site, and above all: sharing our passion

    See you around,

    Jochem
