CURRENT MISSION

Enjoy life, but not waste time..

ABOUT ME

I have many names, but a happy smile is linked to all of them. I love talking to people and enjoy their company. I'm always in for a good laugh and drink. I'm active in our local youth movement (chiro), city Youth Council and JOC (Meeting Center for young people).

Asia is my favorite destination. Especially I like the cultural differences and I'm fascinated by the greatness of the historic civilizations.

My quote is short and happy! This is how I try to live my life. And if possible with a good glass of wine.
