About Me

CURRENT MISSION

"Life is not a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in one pretty and well preserved piece, but to skid across the line broadside, thoroughly used up, worn out, leaking oil, shouting 'GERONIMO!'

ABOUT ME

Just finished a 6 month journey in Indonesia and India.
It was an incredible time, with loads of learnings, new friends, experiences, adventures, insights... so, it is pretty hard to say all about me right now.

Maybe just work in progress...

PHILOSOPHY

"Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did so. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover."

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Spent a few nights on an isolated island, in the jungle of Sumatra, with the Mentawai people.
Together with 5 friends, I created a Laughing club in Singapore and organized several operations to make people laugh which got us on the radio and in the news (more information at break--free.com)
Spent a night sleeping at -15 degrees with no special winter equipment.
Got MARRIED! :)
Ran a half marathon without any training (extremely painful...do not try it!)
