About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To find the next interesting place to explore!

ABOUT ME

It makes me feel happy when I have a positive impact on the lives of others. For the same reason I am a big fan of people, places and products doing the same - creating positive effects.

Having studied Arabic culture, which differs somewhat from the viking ways of the North, I believe that cultural diversity is a developing force pushing everything from economies to personal lives. A topic I am always interested in discussing and view from new angles.

I love to dive. I was born and raised close to the sea and feel at home in the water. The life I have seen out there amazes me. So you could say, that the sea is one of those things, that has had a positive impact on my life.

PHILOSOPHY

The answer to everything: 42..
hmmm.. can I say that at 43?

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

While diving: Looking down into the unfathomable deep off the coast of Honduras and diving in the Blue Hole near Belize among lots of sharks. Climbing Adams Peak on Sri Lanka, and looking at the stars from the desert of Wadi Rum in Jordan while getting scared by the big beetles coming up from the sand.

Teach, Learn, Share

I have a knack for business development. If you want to get some ideas on how to grow your company, I am the right person to ask.
In return you can help me learn Spanish or give me advice on how to overcome my fear of heights.
I like to share views on champagne and good red wine...

Good company, huge interest in cakes, chocolate and a glass of wine.
