Welcome

Some musings about things that inspired me.

About Me

voyager
Middle-aged ex-patriot currently living in Amsterdam, The Netherlands. I never outgrew my teenage passion for music, movies and literature - in fact, I probably spent more time daydreaming than living in reality. What mattered than, still does. I just somehow got older, but I am still the same inside.
