ABOUT ME

I'm a knowmad, a musical madman, trying to make it in this world as a curious, explorative, and spontaneous human being. I love being outside, visiting new places, and meeting people from all over the planet and all walks of life. No matter how small or insignificant, I believe these cross-cultural experiences are bringing this world closer to peace on earth and eternal happiness for all.

PHILOSOPHY

Bad or good, experiences are opportunities to learn. Whatever may happen, use it positively in furthering your self. Don't strive to be someone, just do what you love, and for no other reason. Enjoy your time on earth. No regrets. Get out and see the world -you will appreciate things a whole lot more.
