About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Writing a book and enjoying life in the meantime

ABOUT ME

My favourite game is conversation ball...which means passing around arguments and meanwhile enjoying a bottle of red wine, a nice coffee or sth.. I spent my days writing a book...so in my freetime I like to do all things that don't involve writing.

PHILOSOPHY

breathing the present and trying to live life without a construction of inner boundaries
