About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To carry water to the sea.

ABOUT ME

Wow, describing yourself in a few sentences, that's a hard one! Some key words: enthusiastic, laughing, curious, open-minded.

PHILOSOPHY

I have not arrived yet at a final philosophical conclusion about life. Maybe we can discuss it with a beer or so?
