About Me

CURRENT MISSION

ABOUT ME

I'm passionate about many things, especially the wonders of nature, but also the wonders of man such as architecture, food, culture, ... I'm an outdoors junky. I'm very open minded and have great ease in intercultural learning.

PHILOSOPHY

Happiness is a decision that you make. There are 1001 and one things in your life that you can complain about, but it is your choice to focus on the things that make you happy.

Life is such a beautiful thing, full of magic and mystery, and every day I hope I learn something new that reveals natures secrets to me.
