About me:
My goal in life is to enjoy it every day and leave a legacy to this world. I choose to be happy, healthy and wealthy.
Words that describe me are: loyal, very flexible, open minded, attentive, caring, warm, well balanced, excellent listener, disciplined, relaxed and focused on my goals.
I speak already the following languages: Dutch (and my local dialect), English, German and I want to add Spanish, Brazilian, Russian, French and Arab. I have already some knowledge of Spanish, French and Brazilian. Speaking all these languages enables to communicate with half of the people on the globe in their own mothertongue, which is awesome!
For 2009 one of my goals is to buy a motorbike and then make a trip to Wolgograd in Southern Russia.

- Do not think that you are on the right road just because it is a well-beaten path.
- I believe all suffering is caused by ignorance. People inflict pain on others in the selfish pursuit of their happiness and satisfaction. Yet, true happiness comes from a sense of peace and contentment, which in turn must be achieved through the cultivation of altruism, of love and compassion and elimination of ignorance, selfishness and greed. (The Dalai Lama)
- Start by being the change you want for the world. (Mahatma Ghandi)
- The trouble with not having a goal is that you can spend your life running up and down the field and never scoring. (Bill Copeland)
- Strive for excellence in your calling, but as subsidiary to this: Do not fail to enrich your whole capital as a man. To be a giant, not a dwarf in your profession, you must always be growing. The man that ceases to go up intellectually, has begun to go down. (William Matthews)
- Work is an opportunity
for discovering and shaping, the place where the self meets the world. (David White)
- Genius is one percent inspiration and ninety-nine percent perspiration. (Thomas Edison)
- Be a bush if you can't be a tree. If you can't be a highway, just be a trail. If you can't be a sun, be a star. For it isn't by size that you win or fail. Be the best of whatever you are. (Dr. Martin L. King Jr., Philadelphia 26-10-1967)

Who I'd like to meet:
People who have a broad interest in the things life has to offer. I like to meet people who want to expand their horizon. A friendship exists by the balance of communalities and differences. The things that you have in common with me are the basis of our relationship, but the differences between me and you as my friend, are the things which help each other further evolve. Because life is a never ending lesson or journey, which keeps offering the same challenge till you pass the exam, so you can graduate to another class. You can share and learn of the experiences from others, so it helps you in preventing in having to learn the same lessons or making the same mistakes. Balance is the key. (You might get it, I like to philosophize ... :).
I like to connect with people from every part of the world and want to meet them in person as soon as money, time and travel permits. And then we do things, have fun or .... just go along with your plans. No fixed agendas please, I am very flexible.
Any questions, don't be shy, just write.
