CURRENT MISSION

Make the world a better place, have fun along the way.

ABOUT ME

I am a friendly and open minded guy, with an unsatisfyable wish to learn, understand, feel and experience the world around us.

PHILOSOPHY

- If I have seen further, it is by standing on the shoulders of giants.
- However vast the darkness, we must supply our own light.
- Planet doesn't need saving, it is us who need to be saved.
