About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Tramping (hitchhiking) through North America, then going to Hawaii.

Along the way finding decent new crew for my sailingship "Liberty", which is currently parked in the Solomon Islands and needs a couple hands to move her further to Vanuatu and New Zealand. If interested yourself, aply here!

ABOUT ME

Free spirited guy since long, believes in living an adventurous life close to nature. Always seen with a camara. Skinny, 1,93 m tall, body like an aging GNU... I like the LOW life...., have slept more than 20 years on or below sea water line, aboard my sailing ships (3) I had during my life. A dreamer and lover of MELANESIA and Polynesia, where I spent a third of my 60 years I am on this (blue) planet. I am writing a lot, sometimes I publish stuff, rarely for money.

I believe in living a life like an adventure book!
