About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To see and learn about the wonders of the Earth

ABOUT ME

'I've been here and there, I feel part of everywhere.
Walked across the mountaintops, cold breeze in my hair.
Seen the desert sun go down, this twilight in the sky.
In the middle of a miracle I can feel that I'm alive.

Waking up, not knowing what will happen the next hour.
The forest is my toilet and I use a waterfall for a shower.
Looking at the failing starts whilst I'm falling fast asleep.
Got no single penny left but I've got my memories to keep.

Met a million people but there's always a goodbye.
Some names won't stick, just not that click, but others made me cry.
My best friends come from places where I have never been.
But they've been here, they understand what life for me means.

Don't put me in a routine, because I need freedom to breathe.
On my way to a different place with every heart beat.
Give me time and I'll be fine, I'll find a way to be.
Got no destination 'cause on the mover there is more to see.

I'll soon be back, with my backpack, I'll find a a different track.
More to explore, outside my door, in my mind I've already packed.
The wild waits for me and I am waiting for the wild.
Give me trees and give me grass and I'm as happy a a child.

Traveling here, with no carrier, I open another beer.
No worries and no stress for me I just don't want to hear.
That one day I have to change my life, one day I will be old.
So I live now 'because you can't tell what the future holds.

I might be right I might be wrong but life is not too long.
I write this now but later it might be a different song
I like not knowing what will happen if I take another dive.
There's one thing that I know for sure and that's that I love my life.'

PHILOSOPHY

In life it is not necessary to be strong, but to feel strong

Night diving in Thailand. Resurfacing; the see was like a mirror, a full moon reflected in the water, only water all around, the sea emitted a blueish light.
