Overview
About Me
I'm your average hippie. Or maybe nerd. Or maybe just another soulless atheist in search of world peace and harmony.
I like discussing anything from world politics to what makes us human to emotions, and I like building stuff in wood, code or fabric. I sew some of my own clothes, and I sail a big wooden boat. And finally, I work for an environmental organisation. In total: How more pretentious can you get? ;)
