About Me

CURRENT MISSION

If travel is searching and home has been found... I'm not stopping. I'm going hunting.

ABOUT ME

The harder I try to write anything, the more elusive things get, and it's a general rule about me.
Book-reader, will digest nearly everything, on condition that it's digestible (and I don't find anything more digestible in the process).
I go for the unexpected but enjoy making plans as well, for pure fun of spinning them.
I like nature, I find it a whole new reality and solid background. I enjoy life forms in their entirety, they reveal pure beauty and marvels in themselves.
Optimist when needed, which means on a daily basis.
I love music, even though it would be hard for me to name the "favourite" band (can't name the favourite colour/food/painter/book either and doubt if it would make any sense trying). Can get lost in the music in a very expresive way. I hardly remember my name when drawing.
I live with and learn from people and like sharing experience. Human behaviour, emotions, habits, creativity and complexity are another things to marvel at.
There are times when I need a lot of space and enjoy being on my own.
