CURRENT MISSION

to make my splendid postbox red Hungarian olivetti type machine work!

ABOUT ME

All about me? Impossible. But a small introduction then:
I've been told that I am a passionate and positive person - I love meeting new people and listening to their stories, explaining about their passions. I get easily excited, and I am always capable of looking at the positive, even when it's raining and my tent is leaking at 7 am at a music festival (hey, sleeping was a waste of time anyway, right?)
I enjoy trying new things, and I try to say YES to those opportunities when they come along.
I have no idea what I wnat to be "when I grow up", but so far I've found out that it has to have something to do with the education system.

PHILOSOPHY

I'd like to win the days one at the time, instead of losing them as they slip between my fingers.

When meeting another person, you have the power to change the direction of that person's life, however short and fleeting that meeting is.. (Freely translated by K.E. Løgstrup)

I love to learn, I hate to be taught. - thanks Churchill.

Eine tolle Erfahrung, die ich gemacht habe

I've been in Peru for 5 months. It was unbelievable.

Lehren, lernen, teilen

I can teach you Danish and Norwegian. Perhaps even how to play the trumpet?

I gain from conversation.
