Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
Finding my path in life and in the universe.
ABOUT ME
I'm an average to alternative guy, seems funny to say about myself but I reckon that's what other people would say. I have a diploma Social and Cultural Anthropology. I play volleybal. I have good meaningfull relationship. I also have a band of friends whom you will love at first sight. We're still a bit wild but I presume that will pass as the years tick away.
PHILOSOPHY
Try to do good. Especially don't hurt or offend people and if you do by accident try to fix it or at least apologize.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
The most amazing things I did where holidays. Go hiking in Norway and some other European countries (we always camp in the wild, it's so much fun to find a place to sleep every night, it makes it a bit dangerous), hithhiking to the Alps in Austria, help building in Bosnia after the war, living with Amish in Pennsylvania, roadtripping from LA to NY, propped-full minivan roadtrip to Norway, walking 800km from Saint-Jean-Pied-du-Port to Santiago de Compostella, long distance hiking in the Dolomite Mountains, riding the Tran-Siberian train from St-Peterburg to Moscow and then all the way to Beijing, traveling through China and Tibet to Nepal, hiking in the Himalyas, riding a crapy bike across parts of Southeast Asia, visiting New Zealand and doing lots and lots of tramping there, backpacking in South America,...
Teach, Learn, Share
This one is difficult. I guess my own nature is a bit too modest to find something I can teach people. I`ll probably can teach you a little bit about all of my hobbies listed above. Except for body parts and my girlfriend I want to share everything with you.
