About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Be enthusiastic

ABOUT ME

• I enjoy meeting new people, either those with similar - or entirely different - fields of interest. It's always fascinating to meet new people and share ideas, jokes, good company.

• I like capturing good motives with my camera.

• Cooking is a passionate activity - either experimenting on my own, or learning/sharing from/with others.

• And I'm interested in you, your ideas and life, in an honest and respectful way.

PHILOSOPHY

If I work hard, and put sufficient effort behind my actions, I can reach any goal. But only if I remember to rest and enjoy the small moments in my life.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I promoted CS on live national TV.

Visit to local villages in India (nov 2006) to see development projects in agriculture, schools and medical programs.

Teach, Learn, Share

• How to boil water (and cook delicious meals)
• Basic and more advanced yoga postures
• How to bring quality into your life

If you are interested, you can also ask me about entrepreneurship.

I would like to learn beach volley because I like the sport and it's a great activity during the summer. Much better than being lazy in the sun.
