Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
Always: In search of the Holy Graal and the knights who say NI.
Currently: Planning a roadtrip down the Californian coast together with my fiancée Arvid.
ABOUT ME
Share my home and life with Frans (a parson russell terrier) and Arvid (a fiancée). I run a small social enterprise which offers work training for deaf people who struggles to get in to the labour market. Arvid works as an art director. Together we run a small vintage-antique-retro store. Frans works as a full time slacker!
Since I lack creative ways on how to describe myself I have decided to take a helping hand from the Proust Questionnaire (the short version). Here we go
Your favorite virtue?: empathy
What you appreciate the most in your friends?: tenderness, generosity, charm
Your favourite occupation?: Making history!
Where would you like to live?: Anywhere where there will be friends and trees around
Your main fault?: So many, but always being late would be high up on the scale and a certain fondness for procrastination.
If not yourself, who would you be?: I would like to say that I wouldn't want to be any other person than I am. That would be a lie. Though I'm not quite sure who I'd rather be...
Your favourite colour and flower?: Proust say it so well "The beauty is not in the colours, but in their harmony"
The natural talent I'd like to be gifted with?: A sense for mathematics
How I wish to die?: Just as Proust wished; Improved and loved

Music, Movies, and Books
Always difficult to pin down your likes in a little box like this but I'll give it a go.
I adore nineteenth century literature and when I buy a new book I go by the cover.
I love movies, good ones of course!
Concerning music;...really I like anything but bad music and prefer rock, country, blues, folk and jazz

I'll never forget my stay at Chumbe Islands in Zanzibar. Eco huts, snorkling in one of the worlds best preseved coralreefs and encountering the coconut crab!
