About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Be happy! Happiness is not an accident, nor is it something you wish for. Happiness is something you design. Don't say, "if I could, I would". Say instead, "if I can I will".

ABOUT ME

I can tell a lot about myself, but it would be nice if I can meet you. I am a traveller and love to meet people also outside the hotels or hostels. That is the way to meet the culture closeby and see how they live. What I don't like???? Smoking areas and cats in bedroom. What I like???? Running and fitness, healthy food, sometimes delicious wine and a lot of fun.
I just did a one year backpacking and visited 11 countries. What an experience was that. Hope I find your couch or you find mine in the future!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I did run the marathon in New york city when I became 40 years old. A special age with a special moment.
I made two parts of worldtrips in the last 6 years and that was amazing. I met so many people and I felt freedom. Very special!
