CURRENT MISSION

I love life and everything or everyone I come across. People make me curious and I love understanding other people, other cultures, other habits. Don't like narrow minded people who lack humour.

ABOUT ME

We are three of us, me (Martin), Els (my wife) and Hannah (our daughter) and we would love to host every now and then someone in our home.
I love art, gardening, cultures, philosophy, science, oh so much and love to watch my daughter grow up.
And I really love a nice glass of wine or Champagne or cava, hmmmmm!

PHILOSOPHY

Be thankful for what you got.
