About Me

I like:
- bass music (UK bass like Ivy Lab and Om Unit!)
- cooking experiments with low-carb, sugar free diets
- DANCING
- singing (when I think no one is listening ;))
- writing music video treatments like this one! http://www.andreatseng.com/wp-content/uploads/Man-vs-Bass-PDF-Treatment-v1.pdf

Things I'm learning right now:
- belly dance
- indie filmmaking
- can hemp become a viable industrial cash crop? and replace plastics? :0
- how to make passive income!

I apparently know:
- a Swahili praise song, according to one of my CS hosts from Kenya

I would really like:
- a light-up space suit and jetpack for festivals
- to live in an earthship in a sustainable community
- to have a massive climbable jungle gym made of bamboo and other natural materials in my backyard
- passive income

I get turned on by:
- triple-bottom-line innovative ecological business models that restore the environment, eliminate waste, create jobs and stabilize local economies

- created my own bow-drill fire and shelter fit for a hobbit on a weekend outdoor survival course
- leading morning yoga sessions and doing parkour alongside the Croatian shore
- picking and eating wild blueberries in the Swedish forest
- sitting naked on a rock ledge Lion-King-style overlooking a Mexican canyon oasis under a full starry sky after skinnydipping in a natural hot springs tub
