Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
Having a great time in Japan, make new friends and try to pick up some Japanese on the way!
ABOUT ME
31 year old dutchie. Travelled a lot, love Asia, although I should probably also start exploring Africa and South America at some point.
I work at university as a researcher in Behavioural Finance, basically investigating how psychology (e.g. emotions) affect behaviour when making for example an investment decision, or deciding whether or not to participate in a bankrun.
I try to meditate daily, and do at least one longer silent retreat every year. Hopefully this summer I'll be able to stay at a zen monastery for a couple of days.
PHILOSOPHY
According to a personality test I once had to do I was a "Life enjoyer", don't let any future employers know!
Interests
Travelling, learning languages, reading, meditation, buddhism, drinking fine Belgian bears, surfing, drinking good cappuccino.
