About Me

CURRENT MISSION

enjoying the process

ABOUT ME

I like to make homemade pizza and pancakes. I like to talk about life in the philosophical and spiritual sense of the word. I am an open minded person and want to meet new people to further enrich my minds. I chop my own wood. I worked with elderly for one year and it made me patient but also taught me a lot about the value of a dialogue between generations.

PHILOSOPHY

Bananas and broccoli are the most healthiest foods in the world

Interests

I love to make blackberry jam and distribute it to all my friends. Also excellent on pancakes off course! I like to create stuff, for example build a new room in my house. luckily there is plenty of space, as I live in a squatted factory.

Music, Movies, and Books

Gorillaz, Bach, Dub FX, drum and bass, Rachmaninoff, Johnny Cash, Bonobo, Miles Davis, Kyteman, Walldeck,
