About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To cycle around the World, combined with doing missions for MSF "Doctors Without Borders"

ABOUT ME

Born in Australia where I lived for 21 years. Thereafter I lived in Holland for 25 years and now I am cycling around the World. After 5 years on the road, 24 countries and 65.000 km I have arrived in Guatemala. I combine the cycling with any casual work I can get and with doing projects for MSF "Doctors Without Borders". Last mission was in Central African Republic, responding to a refugee crisis there.

PHILOSOPHY

Live and let live, you only get one chance.
