About Me

CURRENT MISSION

I am doing a 'little' book tour around the world to promote my book "Road to Freedom - The 4-Hour Workweek into Action". Meanwhile doing research for my next book: "Road to Wonderland - a magical mystery tour around the world"

ABOUT ME

I am a traveller who loves exploring new destinations and meet up with people along the way.
I think I am especially addicted to the feeling of complete freedom when I am on the road. I try to stay open to the surprises life sometimes brings. You never know what a day will bring during traveling...

I think I can describe my personality more as a kind of introspective and quiet 'seeker' than as a party-animal. I like good conversations, hiking beautiful trails in nature or enjoying a few drinks and music in a local bar.

Contact me for more info if needed ;-)

PHILOSOPHY

"It is good to have an end to journey toward; but it is the journey that matters, in the end"
