I live in lovely Noordhoek, just South of Cape Town, South Africa. Originally from The Netherlands, I came here for work and decided to stay, because of its people, nature, and magnificent scenery. I have had a lifelong fascination in the scientific field of astronomy and found my purpose there. After retirement I realised that there is more than work, and now I combine my former passions with exploring the world, being in nature, and relating to conscious people of which there are many in this part of the world. Teachings passed through generations, originating from South Eastern Asia have found a fertile ground in South Africa and I aim to do my part in expanding the benefits of living a harmonious life for all.
