Since early on in my child hood I've thoroughly enjoyed reading biographies written about those individuals who have shaped our world. My interest was first sparked when at age of 10 I read the biography of Nelson Mandela. Since then I've read many biographies on men such as Einstein, Thomas Jefferson, Steve Jobs etc. I believe biographies are the perfect intersection of knowledge, philosophy, history and heuristics.

The Netherlands but...
I have had the privilege to be able to live in many places. I feel very lucky that I got to both experience living in The Netherlands, a tiny village in Andalucia (Spain), Segovia (Spain), and world cities such as Madrid, Shanghai and Jakarta.
