About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Sail my ship out to the open ocean

ABOUT ME

I love to discover new things and see new places. I like being involved (for example in student organisations), planning, leading, responsibility. I'm curious of the world and want to see it. I'm also very excited by current technology developments and possibilities it gives us.

PHILOSOPHY

"Be the change you want to see in the world." (after Gandhi)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Sailing in a crew of five from Madeira to Gibraltar (over 100h without any sight of land or, worse, internet) and then to Malaga (2016) on a cozy wooden yacht that once circumnavigated the globe in 1970s.
Snowmobiling on Vatnajökull glacier in Iceland (2015).
Exploring Pripyat and Chernobyl - it's beautiful in Autumn, with yellow and red leaves everywhere (2011).
