ABOUT ME

The road is a university; a place of learning, where the tests are real, so I think we can learn from just about anyone.
But anyone with an interest in music & life will find plenty of conversation in me, or a bit live music as well 'cause I'm a passionate musician, pianist/singer/songwriter learning myself and anyone on the Pop academy what I'm doing right now.
I like open-minded, intelligent, warm-hearted, friendly, reliable people, travelers obviously and people with a spiritual side who can actually argue for what they believe in (I'm not necessarily talking organised religion here) and kind souls who make me feel wonderful. :)

I'm am a vegetarian. So I'm not eating animals and don't want to support a ridiculous system by consuming unnecessarily.

As we seem to live in a world that is endlessly propelled by 'things'; materialistic adventures that 'supposedly' make us successful, admirable, and well-off both physically and mentally.
Feeding this ego with unnecessarily an boring jobs for a new house, car, and endless applications to suit, only takes us further away from truly appreciating anything.
Open your mind and let alone these needless 'necessities' that drive our minds and market economy.
Nothing can open a mind more than pure love, kindness & trust. Living life without a crooked motive or ego-drive puts years on the soul and will help one find true, lasting happiness.

Happiness is when what you think, what you say, and what you do are in harmony.
Mahatma Gandhi (1869- 1948)
