About Me

CURRENT MISSION

having fun with friends, new people, ... finding some new experiences in life

ABOUT ME

i'm a guy who likes to laugh and talk. In fact social talks are the pillar of my current life. When i talk with people I am very curious in an positive way. I find it very interesting to talk with people from another religion, nationality, opinion. So u can say, i'm very open minded.

I am also a voluntary Firefighter in my village. This is a very diverse job, but u never know what u may encounter in an intervention, so also quite dangerous. But i'm not afraid from this kind of danger, because i'm well trained and know what to do in certain situations.

Next to this i'm also assitent headmaster in a scouting group. This scouting group is also my social life, so i would lie to u guys if i said this isn't important @ all. Without this scouting group and the people in it, i wouldn't be the same persone that i am today!

PHILOSOPHY

Live your life, have interests in other, help people if they need it. And do all these things with R.E.S.P.E.C.T..

Laughing is the same as crying, just funnier!
