CURRENT MISSION

to retire ASAP so I can enjoy life and everything the world has to offer

ABOUT ME

I am not in the Hague and may not ever be there again. I spend my time between europe and Asia (mostly Bangkok). I have recently bought an 86ft catamaran which I am now going to try to bring back to life.

I develop software for a living and I am sad to say sometimes quite enjoy my job but I don't consider myself a geek. I am very much into latin music - I dance salsa and also I was a salsa DJ for many years until the pressure of work made it difficult to do all the preparation. I love sailing and water sports, I have been sailing for about 15 years, mainly beach catamarans. I like to meet people and really enjoy interesting conversations. I used to take it upon myself to meet and greet visiting salseros (people who dance salsa) to the salsa club in Bangkok where I used to hang out a lot so I was partly the reason why many consider Bangkok salsa to be a very friendly salsa scene. I like dancing to the music but I also enjoy talking to people as much.

My overall aim in life is to build and live aboard a large catamaran cruising the oceans of South East Asia and Pacific. Let me know if you want to join !!!!

PHILOSOPHY

be happy always and be as kind as you possibly can to other people
