ABOUT ME

Hi! My name is BK. Nice to meet you!:)

I am a law student in "the legal capital of the world", The Hague.

PHILOSOPHY

I am not a religious man, but if I had to choose one I think it would be Buddhism and the idea that we're all part of one bigger reality. I believe in bringing as little harm as possible in to this world. Smile to life and life will smile back:D

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Eurorail, I would recommend everyone to try the same!:D It is such a cheap and amazing way of seeing Europe and meeting locals and travelers:)

Teach, Learn, Share

I play all kinds of music instruments, and can learn away some of that for a beer or good story:D Can learn you everything you would ever need about Norway:p

Is a keen student of life and would love to learn about new languages, cultures and lifestyles:) There is however no learning pressure, I see having fun as more important when meeting new people.
