About Me

Hello!
I'm Simon. Im a lifelong learner who by discovering the world and meeting new people from different cultures is more able to apreciate the one world in which we all live together. Traveling became kind of addiction to me. Especially when I can talk with another people and get new insights into the world we all share. It becomes clear to me that we are on one little fragile planet, and ,,what we do with our world, right now, will propagate down through the centuries and powerfully affect the destiny of our descendants" ~ Carl Sagan

Interests

I like sports of all kind. I have sailing, windsurfing and open water scuba diving licence. I like running, climbing and walking in mountains. My favorite activity however is riding on a bike. I use the bike as my transport and sometimes I do bicycle touring. I go to the gym and play tennis or ping pong.

I'm also interested in science in general.

I eat low carb, and practice ketogenic lifestyle
