About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Travelling to experience cool new places, people, cultures, music, ideas, self-discovery

ABOUT ME

Wow, where do i begin? I enjoy life, i love music, listening to music, making music, wanna record an album when i get home. I love meeting new people. I'm outgoing, like to party now and then, like to relax as well. I'm easy going, easy to get on with, love a good conversation, good food, good music. Have been enjoying photography these past 4 months. I'm travelling and exploring the world after my studies, and before i get a "real" job.

PHILOSOPHY

I believe that we choose our purpose in life. I don't wanna get too caught with money, but want to focus on happiness first. I live for love, music, friends, and new experiences. If i don't work in music, i'll probably work in Environmental Policy or research, something i'm passionate about.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

My Trip to Europe '06/'07 has been an amazing experience. I've learnt so much about myself, other cultures. I've made new friends, and seen places i've only heard about in books, others i'd never heard of. Picking olives on an organic farm in Tuscany was definitely a highlight. This is the best holiday of my life to this point.

Teach, Learn, Share

For my final year of studies I focused on environmental sustainability, so i can share my knowledge and passion for the environment with anybody interested. Can share a little piece of my life and experiences of the world. I'm always open to learning new things.
