I love books especially when i travel. Right now i am reading a lot of self development books but over the years i have read a lot of novels too such as Any Human Heart by William Boyd a brilliant novel written as a diary from a boy till he dies as an old man, illustrating the different passages you go through life. Heart touching stuff and brilliantly filmed into a TV series too. Other books i love 100 years of Solitude, Le Petit Prince and more..

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Swam with a dolphin in Mexico, and camped with family of monkeys this january in Thailand. Had lots of fun over the years playing chameleon by dressing up in different outfits; it happened even my friends would not recognize me ; )

Teach, Learn, Share

I love creative/musical people that have a passion in life and are keen explorers of space, time and mind.
