About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Explore people and worlds (as many as I can) . I will keep my eyes and ears open to learn, love and enjoy as much as possible.

ABOUT ME

The instruction says ALL about me. Hardly, but this is something to go by: I enjoy history, philosophy, art, politics, literature, movies, music and so many others, but lists are very impersonal and boring! I always seek to see good in people and fear to be wrong on the matter. I consider myself to be very open and tolerant, but I might have a hard time with people who are not.

PHILOSOPHY

Curiosity is a life force.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

The beauty of nature shouldn't be under estimated: I was in Finland during winter time doing a hole in the iced lake. The lake was in a notch so all the voices echoed. In winter when it's about to get dark we have this moment, which we call a blue moment, when everything is white, but the sky gets this very spesific shade of blue, all shadows get the same colour as the sky. It is very hard to describe, but trust me, it's beautifull. Then the ice under my feet cracked, the sound echoed all around in the empty and else silent surroundings. The power and danger combined with the beauty was breath taking.

Teach, Learn, Share

I like cooking, sharing a meal is a good way to start almost anything. I'm an artist so quite a few skills with different materials, drawing, camera (digital and analogical) and video editing.
