About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Experience the world, don't ruin it.

ABOUT ME

I love getting to know the planet and all things living and not living and in between.

I did Erasmus (went for an exchange) in Lisbon, amazing times, amazing place. I try to keep up the Erasmus spirit. I also had a similar great experience in Berkeley/San Francisco, doing a research exchange. California is so beautiful...

I'm currently working as a researcher, aiming to get my PhD on microelectronic circuit design.

One day when I get enough of work and the rotten society, I will become a hippie =) I want to live environmentally friendly+responsibly.

PHILOSOPHY

The key words to happiness are "Friends" and "Give". Solidarity is what individuals need and what the world needs.
