Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
To learn, whether by experience or study.
ABOUT ME
I recently finished my master's study in environmental biology. I'm still unemployed, but aiming to get a job as a teacher, mostly in maths. Currently I need more experience to get a job, but I need a job to get more experience.
In my spare time I read a lot, practice capoeira, dance (not often enough), play some board games and computer games and grow vegetables in my own garden. I like talking about complicated topics like whether you could live in an airtight greenhouse, or whether the past tense of "to pick" should be "he puck".
PHILOSOPHY
Life is a wonderful place, and it should stay that way. That's why we need to think sustainable, both in our relations towards each other and our relations towards the rest of the nature.
