ABOUT ME
I m awesome, you ll love me ;)
PHILOSOPHY
Don't trade time for money, you cannot trade back.
Luck is math we cant do.
What you give never gets lost - of course you make a difference- therefore we should be carefull and considerate about the way we choose to spend our lives.
Treat people the way you would like to be treated.
Let's fight against culture of fear..
Words are the thought units that structure our perceptions.
Thoughts are the shadows of our feelings - always darker, emptier and simpler.
Music is the language of our souls...
:) Scattered thoughts and favourite quotes, that should pretty much answear the question..

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
Something that comes to mind is a night in Bruge, with the full moon and beautiful Gothic buildings reflected in a canal, while only the paddling from a green wooden boat was breaking the silence.
Teach, Learn, Share
Oh there s too many things I wanna learn. I am a curious party. Besides wanting to know about your culture, your way of thinking, get a taste of your language and your local dishes, I am currently especially interested in learning the following:
Languages: Improve my Spanish and learn some French
Clowning skills: I work as a clown while living in a little island; that does not allow me to meet and learn from other clowns and try to do that while travelling. I could really use some magic tricks - but not keen on card tricks ;) - or any new idea or game I could use at a party.
Organic gardening and small scale goat cheese production. Mushroom cultivation. Earthship building. Energy production, alternative to electicity. DIYs. I reaaaally wanna do a plastic bottle boat. Extracting essential oils. Permaculture. And finally: SPSS (:P :P -But seriously): You ll have my full attention when sharing on these topics :)
I am also very very interested and have difficulty to find inside information on Social Network Analytics and Intelligence systems!
What I could teach you is probably cooking delicious healthy food, which I am keen on doing. Also how to make young cheese, yogurt and some other cultivations. I can show you around my beautiful island and share a great spot to live in. Maybe help you walk on the slackline?
I can train you as a clown and show you how to make animal baloons.
Also, I am into Facebook mediated viral marketing, we can discuss any idea/product/service you have that is worth reaching more people in the world.
What I Can Share with Hosts
Friends say I am very giving, and it is entirelly true I enjoy sharing what I have. I like to accomodate you whenever and however I can. You may find however that sometimes I ll host you without having all the time in the world. Out of traveller's solidarity, I want to offer you a place to sleep, shower and enjoy even if I do not have he tiniest time to spend with you. My house might even be already full with guests and still I might be accepting people willing to camp in my large, beautiful yard. In any case I ll warn you about whether I have time so depends on your needs. It could be different for you if you re travelling alone, and you may even enjoy that if you re a couple :)
