About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Travel the world and dive/find undestroyed reefs with all the beautiful and fascinating creatures living there!

ABOUT ME

hmmmm... what to say? i'm a open minded person, the reason i joined cs. a good way to learn not to expect anything and accept how everything is. i can't tell you all about me, i'm still finding it out piece by piece.
i'm a (freelance) primary teacher in switzerland since 2005 doing substitutes whenever I run out of money (which happens very regurarly since I follow my passion (diving) and that is an expensive one.. so i work in a lot of places and nowhere. Since summer '15 I'm also a (freelance) dive teacher (OWSInstructor)
my passion is the water, especially when it's liquid, but also frozen :-) (no way not to ski/snowboard where I live)
everything else you have to find out by yourself :-)
