About Me

CURRENT MISSION

to be happy

ABOUT ME

After being a kitesurfing instructor and living a beach bum life for several years, I became a digital nomad. Working remotely in the IT sector allows me to travel and live in different parts of the world. My favorite destinations are Spain, Portugal, and South East Asia

PHILOSOPHY

It's difficult to be happy all the time, but it's easy to make yourself just a bit happier. So, my philosophy is to make small changes in my life. Each of these changes makes me a little bit happier. So, step by step, i hope to become a happy person:)
