The more I look for answers, the more questions I find. I realized that these questions define who I decide to be at this moment:

🤸🏻‍♂️How can I care for others in an increasingly turbulent world, while not forgetting to care for myself?

💙How can I make other people understand my point of view, while not forgetting that I might need to truly listen to these people first?

🤷🏻‍♂️How can I be a feminist, while not forgetting that I am a (privileged) white man?

📢How can I be a critical agent for change, while not forgetting to be compassionate?

⛵How can I live a creative life outdoors, while not forgetting the world around me?

👨🏼‍🤝‍👨🏿How can I help others, while not forgetting that I am just as much on the journey myself as they are?

💚How can I respond appropriately in the now, while not forgetting that we need to move beyond fighting symptoms?

✨How can I wish for change, while not forgetting that there is perfection in each moment?


I have to acknowledge that I have no answers to these questions. That trying to find them definitively has brought me no satisfaction. But continuing to explore these questions without a need to answer them can be an exciting adventure. And in addition, I want to focus on kindness and compassion while exploring the question of “who I want to be in this world”.

In the course of doing that I realized that for now, I am passionate about:

1️⃣ creating spaces for humans to evolve, hoping to solve problems at its root by that

2️⃣ approaching global problems via local community development → I live on a sailboat on an island with 300 year-round inhabitants

3️⃣ solving problems with an entrepreneurial mindset

I would be so happy to hear from you if any of this speaks to you! Maybe we can accompany each other on our journeys for a while 🌱
