About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Be brave, happy and contented

ABOUT ME

I studied here: BME but it didn't suit me so I finished this: UWE. I'm into film sound and the sounds of our environment.

I am tall (196cm), shy for the first time, but ease up quickly.

I die for cycling, and languages. I used to play the drums, but I stopped it years ago for some reason. (I think to start learning italian.) However, I still managed to maintain a fanaticism towards music as a listener.

I love receiving stuff via snail mail: letters and postcards! :)

One advice: eat pancakes and sushi while you can!

PHILOSOPHY

Give more than you take, it's amazing how it can work in reverse.

Self motivation can get you anywhere.

Can you be happy just because you exist? I can.

I'm into media stuff (video, still photography, audio, computers), so ask me! Ex bird wathcer, environmental listener
