A young mind in an older body. I love being alone, but can't stand loneliness.

Can't attache to one spot on this planet to live. Therefor I need to travel, to meet other souls and find connections. Making friends.

I had all kinds of jobs and I had my own company. Now I am retired for already almost 10 years. Then I sold my house in the Netherlands, gave away for free my entire inventory to a charity shop and moved with 5 moving boxes and a guitar to Malta, so nowadays there is my residential address

I have hardly any possessions. living a minimalism lifestyle. I live from € 1.200 per month

I have a blog: www.trefmij.nl. There you can read about my encounters, my opinions, poems and whatever is relevant in the moment. That blog is in Dutch and English

My three children were born and live in The Netherlands (great kids)

I have two dear friends in my life. 1 in The Netherlands and 1 in Malta (we meet almost on a daily bases). I have space for more friendships!

I also have many acquaintances which are all dear to me. I try to stay in contact with everybody which is in its self a beautiful challenge, however my real satisfaction is in gaining new friends

I play guitar for more than 50 years. Learned the base from a friend in a few weeks. After that I never had lessons, so I am autodidact. Still reached a high level. Played for audiences, how interesting I couldn't keep that level. Still like to play and perform. Listen if you want, let's play together, even better!!

I grew up among horses and dogs. Still love them

I don't smoke and off and on I exaggerate drinking (smile)

Beatles, Mozart, Bach, Ravel, Rachmaninoff etc. etc. Dave Brubeck, the sixties, seventies and eighties etc. etc. etc

P.s. I am not so impressed by the music (sound) that is created nowadays

I just like music. Harmony, strong tunes and powerful meaning lyrics

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

What is amazing is meant to be in the behold of the viewer. Love to tell you about my life and you are the judge of how amazing or not you think it is.

P.S. I dare to admit that I did amazing things from my own perspective, such as others did. So shall we meet in a travel, or where ever, to share amazing achievements, encounters, happenings etc?

Teach, Learn, Share

A teacher often mainly speaks is my experience. I mainly prefer to listen. I am curious. I want to learn from others, and share my own experiences.

I don't feel like a teacher, although I sens that people are willing to share with me their deepest thoughts, asking me my opinion about their situation. In that case I am more then happy to share
