This is my personal website. No work related information will be allowed to make its way in here. This is all about me.

I will keep this space populated with pictures, travel diaries and a recount of my endavours into trying different hobbies. Would not hold my breath on that one though, I am kinda rubbish at hobbies.

 

Pictures and other contents will be updated to reflect what I am currently interested in trying out, and also give updates on my latest explorations of interesting places on our planet .

Finally, if I seem to be lax, and you know how to ping me, please feel free to remind me to update the site.

About Me


I am busy closing the rings on my Apple watch every day to balance physical activity with my normally mainly sedentary work activities.

In my infinite spare time,  I plan to investigate three new hobbies per year. Currently trying to paint, without any great success.

Getting even further away from daily activities, I  plan on two vacations per year.

A coyote came in and ate all the eggs — no cygnets this year. I am building an enclosure around the nest for next year.
