ABOUT ME

I worked in an international project of education at primary schools. During a sabbatical I travelled for one year around the world. Now in my retirement I´m going on this passion.
I am also fond of learning more about: Aikido, philosophy, applied psychology, languages and cultures of different areas of the world, Shiatsu, Acupunctur, ...

PHILOSOPHY

Look in the face of a human and smile.
