CURRENT MISSION

ABOUT ME

About me...well....I need to expand this in the future. I am very passionate about whatever I do. I love nature, sailing, cycling and anything that is an intellectual challenge!

Important things beyond that are music ( mainly listening, but I do play the flute (traverse), albeit at an dilettante level.

I love to meet new people and to learn about them and their life.

And I'm a romantic at heart....believing in the good in people, even if that has cost me a dime (and a fortune) in the past...
