About me:

I like to spend my leisure time travelling, especially touring at the helm of a boat or behind the steering wheel of a classic car, or going hiking with our dog. My special passion is classic literature. I would very much like to write stories. The crowning achievement would be a novel.
 

My motto

"You are never too old to set things in motion and experience wonderful things."

(unknown author, probably something I said)
