About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To be creative and to connect this scattered world

ABOUT ME

I am married and have two wonderful kids. I have a thing for music, I love to play it, dance to it, and listen to it. Like the sun I like to hide sometimes, but when I am out I will share the abundance. My life changed drastically while cycling from Denmark to Palestine/israel on my bicycle from 2008-2009. I came awake, my senses, my mind opened, brought me closer, deeper into life. I crossed geographical and cultural borders in search of love, recognition and understanding, and realised that all of them are achievable at any given place at any given time. Now, back in Denmark I am devoting my time to music, my job as a teacher, my area, my family, refugees, and bicycles.

PHILOSOPHY

"All is different all is Good" - a Japanese saying that Hiromi wrote down from the sky at the Vienna West Bahnhof late August 2009. She was from a different land but she had built her bridge to the world from the finest of materials, understanding.
