Greetings, fellow wanderer on this blue marble.

I'm Arne, a 22-year-old man born in Netherlands, a country rich in people being direct and straightforward and poor in being mountanious.

I love to philosophise and discuss all facets that define life. I find it important to question and relativite everything as I consider that the only way to fully comprehend a subject. I also like to accompany these thoughts by a large dose of humour. If life were to be taken seriously, surely it wouldn't be far that important in our minds.

During the holiday I love to go on bicycle tours. Firstly, it allows you to find out what life is truly (not) all about. It makes you feel infinitely closer to nature since you are "freed" from the day-to-day comfort that comes with modern life. Secondly, you will find that no day is the same and that every day is accompanied by different weather, terrain, landscapes, sights, experiences, and/or interesting people. And these are just two of the many reasons that make such a trip worthwhile.

Insanity is a very high art form. It requires you to let go of the concept of fear imposed by the herd and acknowledge the fact that life is just a ride in an amusement park.

"He who wants to be eagle soar high in flight, he who wants to be a worm slither on the floor but do not complain when you get stepped on" - Emiliano Zapata
