CURRENT MISSION enjoy life, travel around, meet people from different cultures, express myself (I write, make photos and video) ABOUT ME I can be happy when I'm with friends in a good restaurant, but also when I'm doing creative things on my own. I try to be as positive as possible and I don't like people that complain all the time. In my free time I move (swimming,cycling,kajaking,walking, tennis, badminton), I write (published 3 novels, a travel story and one biography), I go to see a good film at the cinema or a theatre play, I practice yoga and buddist meditation and I like to cook and to enjoy nature. Since a few years I enjoy gardening maintaining a part of my brother's garden. PHILOSOPHY I'm interested in buddhism, but don't claim to live like a buddist. But it helps me to see life in a positive way and get me through difficult times. I have no sympathy for fanatics or fundamentalists of any religious or political kind. And I don't like discrimination of any kind.
