ABOUT ME
I am a very curious and active person, I love the great outdoors, hiking, biking, canoeing and running, I love to show people around. But apart from the physical world, I am very much interested in the social fabric, the metaphysics of humanity. Differences attract me and I am curious about them, whether they be dialects or life styles. I am really interested in the question what drives people in the way that they are what they are. In order to do all that I have developed some intercultural sensibility and I have been told I am quite empathatic.
PHILOSOPHY
Happiness is not something ready made. It comes from your own actions.
