About Me

CURRENT MISSION

.

ABOUT ME

open-minded person who loves variety and controversial subjects to discuss. I do love sports, especially outdoors and motor-free. (bicycle messenger and -traveller)

I do my best to enjoy life as it comes, and not to get hit by a car while doing so. I'm enthusiastic and adventurous in a calm way.

Convictions and clear principles in life, I have few. honesty and improvisation compensate.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Nature's glory at sunrise from a couple of mountain tops
Witnessed the political awakening and uprising of a civil society
Survived a couple of silly accidents
