About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Embrace life. Be true. Be everything I can be.

ABOUT ME

DRAMATIS PERSONAE:

The adventurer: Read the hobbit as a kid, and had a taste for adventure ever since.

The impressionist: Loves to take in the world as an experience. And to let the impressions give birth to expressions, in the form of photography, poetry, existential writing.

The relationships guy: Is happiest being with my close ones, and when I meet someone where a deep connection is made.

The improvisor: Loves playing, loves taking roles.

The psychologist: Helping clients be whole and free, by seeing and speeking to their wholeness and freedom.

The inner teenager: Likes partying, watching series like Dexter and Californication, being loose.

The adult: Is cultivating a career in psychology, mindfulness and the creative arts - making a living and making myself useful. Is planing on one day making a loving family. With a dog.

The climber: Trains sportsclimbing and/or bouldering. Loves giving 200% everything I've got on a rock wall.

The normal guy: Farts, burps, pay my taxes.. Sometimes wake up gloomy, but dont hang onto it for long.

The hippie: Meditates, likes expressive dancing, have lived in a collective for several years.

The couchsurfer: Is new to this. Wanna connect with good people from different places in the world.

Right now: I have saved money and quit my job for long term travel. Since April 2014 I have travelled Nepal and Northern India, partly on a Royal Enfield chopper I bought in Leh. Right now I am most occupied with experiencing a lot of intense, heartful and beautiful things, and putting these experiences into form in photography and writing (see: www.ladiblog.com)

PHILOSOPHY

Pay attention to whats going on in the present moment, keep an open heart, choose what you want to do.
