CURRENT MISSION

Traveling the E40 from Ridder, Kazakhstan to Calais, France.

ABOUT ME

Very international (both because of my personal history and my current jobs) and extrovert. I like people around me and I like to learn from them. I love stories about history, people, God and nature. I can have principals ), and still I am curious about what I can learn from other cultures (from 'which physical contact is appropriate' to 'do men shave their armpits'). Friendship is very important and cannot be underestimated. Faith is important, because it gives me direction in my life and connection to God and many other human beings. Last but not least: I'm a happy single (and I know every single says that).

PHILOSOPHY

Faith, hope and love
