CURRENT MISSION

Trying to understand how the world works ;)

ABOUT ME

Couple of years ago I was working on a primary school. I didn't like it enough and decided to try to find my luck somewhere else. Eventually I landed in IT as a software tester. Not the path I expected, but I enjoy it more and more.

My hobbies are reading, playing the piano and playing korfbal wich is a sport. I've played it about more then 15 years.

PHILOSOPHY

I'm a Christian and like most of them with my own doubts and questions. I'm convinced that if there would be more love in the world there would be less people get hurt. If you be good to others, others will be good to you (Not always the same people, you've been good to, but somehow it will turn around).

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I did a 2-day horse trail in Lesotho nearby South-Africa. It's a very beautifull landscape and a fascinating experience to see that from a horse.

We also went for whale watching. We saw a baby whale with mother about fifty metres from our boat.

In Australia I did a scubadiving course in Cairns. Amazing how beautifull it is down there!

My trip through New Zealand was amazing,
