My full name is Rasmus Kræmmer Rendsvig.
I was born in 1984, and I like the book. My both parents studied French and History, and I borrow Sci-Fi books from my fathers collection. In particular, I’m fond of James P. Hogan. I’ve lived all my life in Copenhagen, Denmark, and in my spare time I like to play footbag, snowboard and play around with my X301 Lenovo Thinkpad. I’m not afraid to put cinnamon and banana in the Bolognese.
Education:
