About Me

CURRENT MISSION

I want to learn about foreign countries through dialogues with locals. I categorize myself as a world citizen since our century and ease of transport connects us as one large world-state like never before. I suggest we enjoy it.

ABOUT ME

To get in touch with the world, one can not escape being open-minded, tolerant and honestly eager to find out more about people and places on our planet. That is what I plan to be and do.

PHILOSOPHY

Once you learn the simple truth that our time in this life is really limited, you begin creating experiences worth remembering with honest pride. By "creating" I mean that everyone should live their lives enthusiastically and not wait for experience to come to their doorstep. During this discovery trip, I exclude alchohol and such as means of disturbing and hampering the journey.

When you grow up, you tend to get told that the world is the way it is and your job is just to live your life inside the world, try not to bash into the walls too much, try to have a nice family life, have fun, save some money… but thats a very limited life. Life can be much broader once you discover one simple fact: that is everything around you that you call life was made up by people that were no smarter than you. And you can change it, you can influence it, you can build your own things that other people can use. And the minute that you understand that you can poke life… you can change it and mold it, thats maybe the most important thing. To shake off this erroneous notion that life is there, and you’re just going to live it, versus embrace it, change it, improve it and make your mark upon it. I think thats very important and however you learn that – once you learn it – you’ll want to change life and make it better, because its kinda messed up in a lot of ways. Once you learn that, you’ll never be the same again.
