About Me
CURRENT MISSION
Mission?... Current Mission?... Damn, that's what I forgot to put on my to-do list last week
ABOUT ME
I'm an introvert full of contradictions. I love to travel, mostly solo, but I also love meeting new people on my travels and everyday life. It's all about the connections you make. Might be the little kids one tent over that come ask you your name and end up talking your head off for half an hour, might be the guy at the busy coffee shop you end up sharing a table with and having an interesting conversation with.
I work as a Script Supervisor in the Film and TV industry. I love my job, for everyday is different from the last (new location, new scenes, new people) and I get to work with the most interesting people. I know it's cliché, but when you're working 14 hours a day, a good crew can become like family.
When I'm not working I'm mostly volunteering. I lived in Costa Rica for one year as an exchange student (summer '01 until sumer '02) and after I came home I started volunteering for AFS. Some 10 years later I'm responsable for the training and coaching of our local volunteers.
Outside of work my world evolves around: music, film, volunteering for AFS (intercultural youth exchanges), drinking coffee/beer/wine with friends, playing board games w/ other friends, having long long conversations (sometimes intense and deep, other times completly absurd and abstract.
When I'm working there's only work, sleep and lots of coffee.
PHILOSOPHY
Hmmmmm, think that one changes prety much every week... How about: "Don't hurt other people, it's just not nice"
