CURRENT MISSION

To be happy. To laugh a lot, eat good food, drink good coffee, travel, meet new people, read good books - in other words: live.

ABOUT ME

I love books, good coffee, slow & late breakfasts, music, new people, traveling, languages, food, films, art...
I grew up on a farm with 6 siblings. I've lived in 6 different countries and in a circus. I've worked as a chef, proofreader and strawberry picker.
I never sleep enough and stay up too late. I love laughing. I walk fast. I love meeting new people. I believe in goodness in people and in good karma, and so far I've never gotten disappointed.

PHILOSOPHY

To try to reduce unnecessary animal suffering at least a bit (no way of saying this without sounding pretentious).
That is, after finishing my current studies I want to participate in animal welfare work in China, Africa, South America, Europe - wherever needed, whether it'll be paid (in which case I could do it full time) or volunteer work.
