About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To dream as if I'll live forever, to live as if I'll die today (stolen from James Dean)

ABOUT ME

Born for luck. I have a talent for ending up in messed up situations and although everything alway seems to go horribly wrong, in the end it always works out fine and better than I could ever have planned it.

PHILOSOPHY

The world is what we make of it. Everybody can make the world a better place.

Interests

Biggest interest is rockclimbing. Every holiday you can find me somewhere near a climbing site. Since I live in the Netherlands and there are not so many hills here, we usually go to Germany, Belgium, France or Spain. Furthermore I like traveling and all kinds of sports.

Teach, Learn, Share

If anybody is interested in learning Dutch or some basic physics, I'll be happy to help.

As for myself, I always like to learn the language of the coutries I visit. Any help in that department is always welcome.
