I started this blog after reading books from Robert Greene, which inspired me to start publishing myself. Before, I was already writing articles and essays for other magazines and papers, nevertheless this dependence restricted my freedom of speech.
My essays are about life in the big city, and what I see, smell and hear. Besides, I write stories about my travels around the world and my encounters with its beautiful nature and people. I just want to say what I want to say. Read it, learn from it, make more quality decisions and spread the word! For the better…..
13 random things about me:
- I was born in The Philippines and I grew up in Indonesia.
- I lived in The Netherlands, South-Korea, Belgium and France afterwards.
- When I was 4, I almost died of cholera.
- I like train traveling, as I think it is a marvelous way of seeing countries and meeting its people.
- Hiking through nature gives me energy. The same goes for Kung Fu and delicious food.
- A question that intrigues me: Where does East meet West?
- Flamenco gives me joy. And also rap, classical and jazz music.
- I am touched by world’s most beautiful literature (e.g. Hesse, Dostoevsky, Pirsig, Voltaire), but I am also reading a lot of non-fiction.
- I studied Systems Engineering and Policy Analysis in Delft, even though my mind tends to be more creative than rational. (I think….)
- For 5 years I studied flamenco guitar with Adrian Elissen in Amsterdam. Olé!
- I stopped watching television 10 years ago. And I don’t miss it at all.
- I’m not very good, but I do a lot of Tai Chi.
- What makes me sad: the speed at which humanity is destroying Mother Nature. I therefore chose to live as simple and minimalistic as possible. And I am also embracing SDG 13: Climate Action and all the other Sustainable Development Goals.
