CURRENT MISSION

I want to spend my life with people, art, fun, sunshine, beautifull views, interesting conversations, music, silence, and........people

ABOUT ME

Not the typical Dutch. More spanish both in looks and temperament, but nevertheless a product of this beatifull country (the Netherlands), city (Amsterdam) and culture ( a mix off many things). Warm, open, free and without prejudice (at least I try to) and buzzy bee but also someone to have fun with. 43 years old, but that is just a number and living as a single man (don't worry I am not looking for a relationship.

PHILOSOPHY

My personal philosophy is under continuous construction, it does involve ,among other things, that to live life to the fullest one needs to take risks and since I only have appr. 75 years I better do the things I want to do NOW.
