CURRENT MISSION

I'm aiming to become more independent and social. I want to meet new people, and I want to introduce both them and me to myself.

ABOUT ME

I can be a bit quiet at first (especially in groups. I love listening to conversations), but rest assured; I do talk. I just have to warm up sometimes. If you want to have an interesting one-on-one; I'm your man.

I'm neither a pessimist nor an optimist. I try to look at situations from every possible side. I always try to end my thought process on an optimistic note though. I'm therefor also not a person who judges quickly. We're all just people after all.

PHILOSOPHY

Don't judge too quickly and harshly. There's always that grey area. Nothing is truly black or white.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I volunteered at a lodge in the North-West Territories (Canada) for 3,5 months. I celebrated New Year there with some guests and the other volunteers. We enjoyed some fireworks under a dim Aurora Borealis. When the fireworks stopped, the whole sky lit up and I saw the most vivid Aurora I had ever seen! The brightest, most diverse and most animated Aurora I've seen thus far.

Teach, Learn, Share

I don't know how good of a teacher I am, but I have enough knowledge of a few things I'd be willing to share. I'm quite well versed in figuring out pieces of software. Need any help in Photoshop or Cubase? I'm your man. I could also teach you some chords on your guitar, or teach you how to play some notes on that old violin of yours.
