about
This is a simple blog from Felix Faassen aka “flixz” or “flixzie” filled with stories which inspire me, things I see, hear, feel, taste and smell.
one poem
There is a pleasure in the pathless woods,
There is a rapture on the lonely shore,
There is society, where none intrudes,
By the deep sea, and music in its roar:
I love not man the less, but Nature more
– Lord Byron
two motto’s
“Whatever you do will be insignificant, but it is very important that you do it.”
– Mahatma Gandhi
“You must be the change you want to see in the world.”
– Mahatma Gandhi

I was born on November the 17th 1975. I’m inspired by explorers going to places few or no men have ever set foot. Sea men, pilots, astronauts, divers and of course the crew of Star Trek.
Explorers need the experience, technology, knowledge, wisdom and sometimes luck to come back from an adventure to inspire others. This is why I’m passionate about the outdoors and technology. I have been working for more than 14 years in software development and currently starting up a new eco-easy service called PLANETZER0. Next to that I like hiking, climbing mountains, playing the piano, (one day flying) airplanes and last but not least, diving.
