ABOUT ME

I think I am open-minded, cheerful, respectful and always up for new experiences. I'm also very spontaneous and honest - I can't help but speak my mind!

On the other hand, I am stubborn and impatient... but not to the point that you shouldn't consider meeting me or having me as a host/guest ;)

PHILOSOPHY

I believe in the wisdom and power of Nature, and strive to live my life as respectfully as I can towards myself, others and our planet. I believe in the will to improve, and that time goes by very fast! I believe in questioning what we take for granted and I am not so fond of mainstream people/tendencies.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

One of my best memories is of when I went on a horseback riding stroll on a beach in Cuba. At one point I was galloping on a white sandy beach with clear blue water next to me, it was awesome!

Other great experiences I've had have been parasailing, water skiing and backpacking on my own.

And last but not least: the first scuba dive I did in my life, with dolfins as dive buddies. I was amazed by the feeling of not having to go up to the surface for air. And the dolfins... what can I say? Amazing!
