I like to approach life positively, with curiosity and a smile :-)

I'm interested in people/ cultures, being in and around nature and mountains, learning languages, (world)music, psytrance, horse riding, motorcycling, hiking, camping, (salsa)dancing, snowboarding, travelling, playing card and board games, documentaries, art, talking, philosophy, reading, drinking red wine, eating veggies, pancakes and pure dark chocolate, a hug and exploring.

PHILOSOPHY

"Dance like nobody's watching; love like you've never been hurt; sing like nobody's listening; live like it's heaven on earth." Mark Twain

"On voyage pour changer, pas des lieux, mais des idées"

"Reizen is de kunst zich thuis te blijven voelen"
