Interests / hobbies
I have many and varied hobbies, which is also shown in the leisure education above. This is just a sample of the current interests I entertain:
| Travelling | I love experiencing new countries, territories and areas. As long as I can remember, I have been an avid traveller.To date I have visited 300+ places in 50+ countries on 6 continents, from 65’ North to 55’ South in all time zones.
In 2009 I travelled the world for a full year. Check my blog for more on this. |
| Photography | I am a happy amateur in this regard, but I love capturing the magic, the atmosphere, the moments and light in my digital Nikon D-90 camera.Since 2009 I have shot more than 40.000 photos – and kept 10.000 of which I regard 1.000 as good. I have more than 18.000 personal photos in my portfolio |
| Diving | I am a dive professional, but only dive for pleasure. I am picky and only have 200+ dives – but in 40+ locations on 6 continents including Great Barrier Reef, Cozumel, Hawaii, Red Sea, Thailand, Fiji and Argentina. |
| Movies | I never watch television, but I love seeing a great movie. Preferably on a big screen.I collect good movies, and my collection contains more than 2.000 movies in many genres. I especially love action comedy (ex. Rush Hour) and adventure movies (fx. Lord of The Rings) and as a real guy, I also love pure action (ex. James Bond, Mission Impossible, Transporter etc.) |
| Personal Development | Since I did evening school in Psychology at age 13 I have been studying human excellence. I believe I have read more than 1.000 books on the subject and I am still learning every week.Topics vary, but pivot around Business and Human Excellence and peak performance. |
