An American expat living and working in the Netherlands, and I travel during all my vacations. I studied music in the US and later finance in the NL, and now I work as an engineer.

I have a very wide variety of interests and love to learn new things. The biggest reward of traveling is its lasting impact on one's perspective.

I spend most of my free time figuring out how to live better and help others do the same.
