CURRENT MISSION

broaden my horizon by meeting people from all around the world and travelling

ABOUT ME

I think I am an open-minded person eager to learn and to experience new things by meeting people and learning from their conceptions of 'life'. I try to be very positive and without prejudices, always assuming the positive intent people follow with their actions.
I like enjoying myself while having a cup of good coffee (or tea, wine, beer) but it's more fun enjoying it together. ;)
It's hard to describe oneself, I guess the people's references down there on this profile should give quite an impression of whom I might be. And: Why don't you find out yourself? ;)

PHILOSOPHY

Hakuna matata. Think positive.
