CURRENT MISSION

To witness music, art and architcture, feed well and travel the world's great thermal baths

ABOUT ME

I am living in Berlin at the moment, writing and eating up the energy. I love reading (Mervyn Peake, Janet Frame, Greil Marcus, Shaun Tan, Maurice Sendak, Robert Graves), wine, whisky, music. I longed to travel to Prague and see Tom Waits, so I did both in the same amazing city. Now I want to go to Copenhagen and lots of hot springs.

PHILOSOPHY

I feed myself with good food, wine, whisky, friends, landscapes, views, conversation and experiences.
