Not through this network, but tons of hitch-hiking and couch-surfing in my twenties.

Interests

transformation from consumptive to sustainable. Pro-poor development mechanisms in the so-called third world. Experiencing alternative living models. Having fun: cooking, eating, dancing, hiking, partying and all the rest.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Seeing my children to being born, crossing the jungle alone for some days, living in an high-altitude village in the middle of the Bolivian Andean, crossing the Afar desert and visiting a lava-lake with some trigger-happy Afar and three amazing friends (of which one became my wife)

Teach, Learn, Share

I'd like to share our current (modest) status of understanding of the things that need to be done to provide our children a better future and I would love to learn from others about the same thing! As I mentioned: we are on a learning journey with open minds.
