ABOUT ME

Hey, my name is André, I'm 28 years old and I am working in Operations and Data Management in a fintech company as a First Level Agent.
I'm originally from a city close to Dortmund in West Germany but now I live in Berlin, our beautiful capital.
I studied Geography at the Freie Universität Berlin.
I used to live in Albuquerque/New Mexico and therefore I speak English as my "almost" mother tongue (besides my German).
During my time there I discovered my joy for learning different languages such as Spanish and Hebrew.
I took 5 years of Spanish in school and university and took over 2 years of Portuguese in university. I also lived in Lisbon, Portugal as well as São Paulo, Brazil.
I am very tolerant and open minded. I have no troubles making friends and getting to know people. There's always something to talk about with me ;)

PHILOSOPHY

1. Free your mind from hatred.
2. Free your mind from worries.
3. Live simply.
4. Give more.
5. Expect less.
