CURRENT MISSION

To experience this very moment to the fullest

ABOUT ME

I usually find it hard to describe myself, have a look at interests to get an idea.
Apart from that i suppose i´m a bit shy starting conversations or meeting new people, but once i´m through that barrier i usually open up a fair bit and can be quite talkative even.
At the moment i´ve settled down in Maastricht at my new place, and will start to teach yoga for a living.

Some additional info: I don´t drink alcohol nor do i smoke, but i have no problem with people who do. Also i usually eat vegetarian, although i can make an occasional exception if the situation requires it.

PHILOSOPHY

Life is One. To believe one is separate is the biggest comedy and the biggest tragedy. The challenging part is to realize this in daily life.

Hmm it's hard to come up with a philosophy without quoting, maybe soon something more striking may pop up.
