CURRENT MISSION

Work hard, save money and leave to the other side of the world and have fun!

ABOUT ME

I am curious and always willing to learn new things!
The world and its residents are to me like one big educational experience. Further I don't like to hesitate to much about the things live brings. I'd rather spend my energy on having a good time!

PHILOSOPHY

I am rather naive and full of trust and will be cheated that I always distrust. For in the first case I suffer a little in the second case constantly.

Music, Movies, and Books

My favourite artist at this moment is John Mayer. It is because of is sensitivity in his lyrics his diversity in music (up tempo / lounge etc.) and his humour when he performs.
Besides John Mayer I like a lot of different kinds of music. Most of all the older pop songs, and also classical music.

I've read a lot of books. Most of them are Dutch literature.My favourite writers are therefore Ardriaan van Dis and Remco Campert.

I do not have a favourite movie, I don't like to watch t.v. and I have not seen that many movie s. But if I had to come up with one then it will be .... Pff I really don't know haha

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

The most amazing thing I've seen in life are the Pyramids in Egypt. I was so impressed by how amazing big they are! It is incredibly to see how they have made them.
I was also very impressed with the form of boundless kindness of the Thai people, during my journey through the country.
I guess the most amazing thing I've done has to come. That will be my trip down under. One year all by myself, I'm curious what is that going to do with me.

Teach, Learn, Share
