CURRENT MISSION

Love, learn, teach and try to keep being amazed by life.

ABOUT ME

I'm a easy going, enthusiastic guy who loves to learn. I'm always exploring new things to discover, do en see. This means that I'm a writer, a photographer, a drummer, a scientist, a teacher, an illustrator, a psychologist a party planner, a painter, a carpenter etc all in one. There are just too many interesting things to explore in life than specializing on one particular thing (yet).

According to the Myers Briggs personality test I am an: "ENFP"
(http://www.keirsey.com/4temps/champion.asp)
I think the description in the above link describes me quite good.

After finishing my Bachelors, I've just quit my job and gave up my room in Holland, threw 3/4 of my stuff away and went hitchhiking to Berlin. The plan: to meet people, do new things and explore new places. Oh, and I'm looking for an interesting Masters-programme to do next year.

PHILOSOPHY

If I look back on my life in time, I hope to be able to say: "It was worth it".
This life is a search for truth, (self)knowledge and purpose.
For me this purpose is trying my best to be a positive addition to this world.

"He has achieved succes who has lived well, laughed often and loved much; who has gained the respect of intelligent men and the love of little children; who has filled his niche and accomplished his task; who has left the world better than he found it, whether by an improved poppy, a perfect poem or a rescued soul; who has never lacked appreciation of earth's beauty or failed to express it; who has looked for the best in others and given the best he had; whose life was an inspiration; whose memory is a benediction"
-Mrs. A. J. Stanley-

"The surest way to corrupt a youth is to instruct him to hold in higher esteem those who think alike than those who think differently"
-Nietsche-
