Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
I want to speak to the management.
ABOUT ME
I'll try to give you some basics. For the exact details you'll realy have to get to know me in person. In general relaxed (really trying hard not describe myself as easy going, like pretty much everyone on CS), broadly interested, helpful and fun. I like history, culture, travel, politics, a lot of music, a hand full of sports and some good books. I'll narrow it down. I'd like to be a journalist or do something in politics. I'm a traveler. I like bands like The National, The Knife, The Blue Van, Ben Howard, MIA, the John Butler Trio (not that last album though), Angus and Julia stone and to top it of with some big names, Mark Knopfler, Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, Bob Marley and The Beatles (though they're a bit overrated). I've got a violin and a bass, but I'm not very good at either. And, thats about it.
Cheers
PHILOSOPHY
I'm still working on it. Up till then I'm trying to learn to treat people as I'd want to be.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
Ice skating (that's Dutch long track, not hockey) at moonlit midnight.
Teach, Learn, Share
Dress for the worst, hope for the best, don't forget your towel, food, or map for that case. And smile like you mean it when hitch-hiking.
