What do you do when you're not traveling?
I write books and theatre plays, in the mornings I usually go for a run, at night I go out. And I spend a lot of my time with my friends. Well, actually I do the same when I'm traveling.
What is your superpower?
Listening. I'm good at listening. And I will remember your story. I'm really bad with names and with orientation but I remember stories.
What is your spirit vegetable?
Ginger. Obviously.
How do you make new friends?
Say hi and smile. I never thought about it to be honest... maybe because I've never had any issues with it.
What will be your part in the travel group?
The one who talks to the policemen when we (well, not me probably, cause I'm a really bad driver, so rather the other two) drive too fast and we have to convince them to not give us a fine.
What or who will you miss during the 100 days?
My friends and my family.
I expect a friend to...
be kind, honest, big- and open-hearted. I expect that a friend celebrates with me when I succeed and that he is there for me, when I fail.
I can't stand it when...
my iPod dies at the very moment I start jogging.
I spend an unreasonable amount of money on...
on booking flight tickets for the wrong dates.
