CURRENT MISSION

Being sorry because I cannot change the world. Regretter de ne pas pouvoir changer le monde.

PHILOSOPHY

Try to be happy and make others happy everyday because I am not sure to be alive tomorrow. So if I feel like doing something, I want to do it now. By the way, if you happen to love me, tell me now because else it might be to late.

I like travelling and meeting people from other cultures a lot. I like talking about things for a long time so if I talk too much tell me!

I believe in science so if you try to convince me that homeopathy or astrology work you will only get on my nerves!

I think politics is very important and everyone should care, but I don't have the truth and I am always interested in other people's opinion. I am favourable to more social welfare, better salaries and no more money for the super-rich that rip everybody off. Why on earth and hell should a millionaire get an extra income from the bank just because they are rich? interest rates should be nil.

I love the Swiss landcape and the Swiss democratic rights, but the Swiss banks are my ennemies, even if some friends of mine work there.

I was very neurotic when younger, but now I am rather relaxed. My catastrophic past has given me some ability to understand other people problems. I am way too far far away from perfect to allow myself to judge other people. I make an exception for the top CEO and the thiefs who earn dozens of millions on the financial markets.

I do not thing it is possible for a human being to be without contradictions. For example, I have always tried to save energy and I have never had a car (I don't know how to drive) but I travel by plane every year...

Interests

Scuba diving,kayaking,hiking, sailing, visiting places, meeting new people, playing volleyball, football, ping pong, fussball, chess, go, all sort of funny games.

I like art, though I seldom understand modern art.

I love children and I like to take care of them. Why make my owns when it is so easy to borrow some for a day or two? By the way "Kiskrof" is my name pronounced by a two-year old I used to baby-sit.
