About Me

CURRENT MISSION

travel the world on a shoestring

ABOUT ME

i'm openminded in everything. easy-going and down-to-earth. a soul searcher part-time hippie who loves adventure.

i love to eat and cook, losing myself at live concerts, share lovely funny moments with other people. i'm also there to give hug for sad heartbreaking moments. i'm very honest with my opinion and not everybody can handle it. i am intelectual and could ask or analyzed too much but that could be that asskick that you might need. i have sense of justice and i would fight for somebodys right if it's necessary.

i found already my profession in the gastronomy. i'm a full blooded gourmand and love to travel, explore and hunt exotic colourful food in the market, fields or jungle that give me inspirations to experiment and create new recipes. i would die for fresh fish, raw beef, game and seafood!

i travelled different kind of places and grew up in two very different cultures and continents. swiss mind, filipino heart, eurosasian values.
i'm not rich and not poor but i feel lucky to have this oppurtunity and i learned to appreciate honesty, respect, values and i believe in karma - what goes around comes all the way back around.

i think life can be very simple if you - accept what you get and be thankful - appreciate what you have and be happy - give everything what you can give without regrets.

for me sports and outdoor activities are important to keep my inner body-mind-soul balance. from mountain hiking, snowboarding fishing, kite surfing, dancing, sailing, yoga,.at the moment i'm addicted to surfing and stand up paddling even in winter.

PHILOSOPHY

There is a pleasure in the pathless woods,
There is a rapture on the lonely shore,
There is society, where none intrudes,
By the deep sea, and music in its roar:
I love not man the less, but Nature more,
From these our interviews, in which I steal
From all I may be, or have been before,
To mingle with the Universe, and feel
What I can ne'er express, yet cannot all conceal.
