About Me

CURRENT MISSION

changing my carreer!

ABOUT ME

"and there are those, like myself, who are paralysed by "home". for whom home is synonymous with the proverbial writer's block, and who believe naïvely that all would be well if only they were somewhere else." (bruce chatwin)

my friends describe me as a good talker, intelligent, kind, sarcastic, direct, sincere, quiet, open minded...

but meet me and have a look for yourself.

PHILOSOPHY

you are not what you were born, but what you have in yourself to be.
ah... and don't be too serious... laugh more...
