About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Make the marriage between my head and my heart work out!

ABOUT ME

This is always a hard one, especially cause I believe people change all the time based on the experiences they have had. I am just another human being trying to find his place in this world, unable to conform to the standardized 9 to 5 lifestyle.

I think people would call me very easy-going and pleasant to have around, I am definitely a very unique person that doesn't fit in a box. I can be very direct and funny but do have my own style of humor so to say. I can be a little shy to start a conversation or seek contact, but once the first steps are made that's over.

PHILOSOPHY

- Try everything at least once
- Live everyday like its your last
- Don't worry, be happy

My favorite quote has to be one of Bill Hicks, especially because the last part shows so well what state the world is in these days:

"Today a young man on acid realized that all matter is merely energy condensed to a slow vibration, that we are all one consciousness experiencing itself subjectively, there is no such thing as death, life is only a dream, and we are the imagination of ourselves. Heres Tom with the Weather"

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Hitch-hiked more then 50.000 km across Europe and North America, and all the amazing things that came with it. Saw beautiful nature everywhere. Psychedelics, Skydiving, Snowboarding, Amazing parties and festivals and last but not least fell deeply deeply in love with someone.

Teach, Learn, Share

I seem to have an ability to figure out how to get from one place to another the cheapest/fastest/easiest way by plane/boat/train very well.

I could probably teach you a thing or two about camping with out to much camping gear and cooking meals on a campfire.

And of course I can teach you dutch although my friend once said: "Life's too short to learn Dutch" and I totally agree!

I Also used to be a computer geek so I can teach you a fair share about linux, programming and other nerdy stuff
