Overview
About Me
I like the following paintings all by Salvador Dali: Metamorphosis of narcissus, La Temptation de st. Antoine and Reflection of elephants. If you can figure out why these three paintings in particular. Then you know quit a lot about me.
I am an optimist and a realist. I always try to find the positive in anything. If you want something done, I think you have to do it by yourself.
I am not religious but do think there is something like karma and faith. What goes around comes around. Everything happens for a reason, often unknown, but nevertheless it happens at its own time. If something happens it is simply meant to be, nothing more and nothing less.
Saying that, I also think that there is more in life than just happyness (the good, the bad and the ugly). I think that there is something that will make the short period we live in, between two infinities, more meaningful. However after travelling for 2.5years, I came to the conclussion that there is no point to worry about the meaning in life. Wheter you find the answer or not is irrelevant. I think one should focus on living life itself instead of trying to figure it out.
Life is an experience, meaningless when not shared.
True happyness is to experience life to the fullest with the people around you.

Music, Movies, and Books
Anything with a good story I like.
The most inspiring would be 'a beautifull mind'.
Book: The Alchemist, "When you want something, all the universe conspires in helping you to achieve it." This is the core philosophy and motto of the book.
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
Bungee jumped from the eurobridge in Innsbruck.
Travelled around the world for about 2.5 years. Just to mention a few interesting experiences:
Getting lost on a mauntain in India in the middle of the night, when it seemed to be hopeless I got surrounded by fireflies.
Experienced the outback lifestyle as a cowboy in the middle of nowhere in South Australia.
Walked unprepared the Keplar track in less than 17 hours in New Zealand.
Kayaked on my own in open sea in challenging weather conditions in New Zealand.
