CURRENT MISSION

Creating a food revolution in Ethiopia

ABOUT ME

Well, my name is Leon, I was born in the Netherlands. I've lived in Holland for the first 18 years of my live. In these years I traveled a lot from different houses and learned that there are nice people living in every street. So after I left high school I wanted to meet some people in streets in different regions on the planet.
So i started to hitchhike in 2007. I went threw Europe to Turkey. From here I flew to India and after that I went to Nepal.
After this I went back to school (Forest and nature preservation).
Soon I started to work as a entrepreneur to practically implement solutions for the challenges I had encountered during my travels.

PHILOSOPHY
Create a better world and live your life up to the max of satisfaction.

教，学，和分享

Climate change. This is a topic I've been learning about for several years now. The more I learn about it the more I discover how big the planet we live on is.
Currently I am working as an entrepreneur to solve energy and climate challenges in the developing world, now focusing on Ethiopia.
