About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Really enjoying my job and trying to combine in what as much travel as possible

ABOUT ME

Having fun and always looking for new great experiences. At the moment trying hard to learn and play guitar. Which seems to be more than difficult than I thought! Enjoy living near the beach in The Hague.

PHILOSOPHY

In every life you have some trouble, but if you worry you make it double... Difficult philosophy to have, but I try to enjoy life and only worry about things that need to be worried on.
