About Me

CURRENT MISSION

We learn, not for school, but for life. (Seneca)

ABOUT ME

Always searching, but have given up finding any answers:
now trying to LIVE THE QUESTIONS of life :)
Having spent a couple of years in the Philippines I consider myself adjustable, flexible and am always interested in different mind-sets, cultures, styles ... and I appreciate the same openness in other people!

PHILOSOPHY

I you want to have something that you never had before you need to do something that you have never done before.
